How Polite. from How Polite. by Kickle Cubicle

never been this cold
or so i've been told
hands i used to hold
were they mine or yours?
...
gettin' rid of december
'cause august lasted a week, i'm
gettin' good at pretending
i'm coping well with defeat
and won't you think of the children?
the ones that died in my dreams --
i guess i'll make an exception
they're often incomplete
...
all this art
oh, it isn't making me feel a thing
but, it seems if i can't love her
then i can't love anything
after all
it's been years from when my heart held the beat
and, you kept me in order
syncopated sympathy
i remember
clementines
i peeled yours, and then
you peeled mine
i recall your, crooked smile
so uncertain, but
how polite (oh, how polite)
(go for it!)
...
i bought a coffee, and i bought her tea.
she took a sick day, so i let her be.
i caught her fever, and she caught my eye --
i can't believe it, so i guess i gotta try.
we traded numbers like we traded tales
and we rolled with the punches. we were too big to fail
we were bleeding, sure, but we were laughin'
just nice to be a part of the action.
oh, what a wonder!
oh, what a waste!
is this an ending? oh, should i brace?
a roller coaster and i can't hit the brakes,
the water's frozen! i never learned how to skate!
i'll get a cabin
i'll make her wait
i'll pose a question, and
pontificate
we're gonna make it.
this is the day.
i've gotten better, but
it's gotten late.
