(I Remember) Joe Brainard - Maxïmo Park

I remember Joe

Designed his mother’s dresses

Stumbled over his words

Sold his blood so he could eat

Memories feel like a first kiss

Never wanted to take control

Imagined life to be so still

Remembered boys

With their freckles and navels

Imagined life to be still

Imagined life to be so still

So

Still
