the knotted dam

i can't trust my gut
when it's all knotted up
wish i could brush it out like i should brush my hair

i think i'll be fine
i have so much time
this dam won't collapse for 10,000 years

& then when it does
& everything floods
i'll feel the cold water i'm submerged in

it'll take out the trees
& misplace the bees
i can already feel them stinging my skin

when this dam is gone
& i've waited too long
i'll be drowning in everything i never did

of all of the things
& all of the stings
wasted time is the most painful for a little kid
