Jamie, you’re working so hard.
You’ve become so strong!
Lifting the weight above you,
you hold it in your arms.
You fill your clothes so tightly
you grit your teeth down!
Your every limb is aching.
What can you hold now?
when you were young and always furious
and your mother used to run away
you’d chase cars flying past your driveway
and curse each choice to stay
Jamie you’re scaring me now
You’ve punched holes in the wall!
Jamie, what are you doing?
You’re hardly there at all.
and you were young and always furious
and your mother used to run away
you’d chase cars flying past your driveway
and curse each choice to stay
and you were young and always curious
how the front door never flew off its frame
when September painted your world so patiently
and your body started to change.
