when you say sinner looks like saint
I know you don’t only crack wise
but echo breath I haven’t spent
how are you doing that?
I am mystified
when you see that
it’s an attack
defend, embrace, it escalates
be still my everlasting
they misunderstand
why do they misunderstand me?
look, it's like this
you are like a swiss army knife
when words don’t work as well as I’d like
decode my stares, my stuttered starts
shut me up and ask,
“how can I kiss you when you’re speaking in tongues?”
