Dinosaur Dying - Sioux Falls

I know it slips and gets displaced

Beneath the waves that live in you

Your mom and dad survive encased

Inside their childhood residue

It seems so strange to see the sun arrive so late

It splits apart the nighttime

Warms your face

I was on your roof

Looking at cartoons

You were right there too

Nothing else to do

Then you stopped

But it sounds like a dinosaur dying

Just those long nights

Where you’re not even crying

Did you see the length of my reach?

Did you need something different than me?

I’m getting so sick of myself

The dumbest ticks become routine

An exit pressed against your head

A flaming ocean in the street

I had a dream you were in a book that i am reading

Won’t you come see pile with me?
