(manifest)

i want to call a request through heating vents

and hear them answered with a whispered no

to crack the code of muscles slack and tense

let every second step in boots on snow

complete your name in accents i can't place

that stumble where the syllables combine

take depositions from a strangers face

paint every insignificance a sign



so tell me nothing matters less or more

say whatever we think actions are

we'll never know what anything was for

if near is just as far away as far

and i'm permitted one act i can save

i choose to sit here next to you and wave
