Lyrics:
It’s 9am,
but it doesn’t matter,
place and time is only ever referenced
to give you an entry point,
like
“oh, 9am, I have those”.

I look up and see
nothing crosses heaven.
It’s the year of skies,
empty like my childhood.
High above the street
clouds are gathering
cause they can,
and my phone rings, it’s my friend.
Apparently clouds are gathering all over the world.

I am reading books now
about writing and insects.
They are intertwining.
I find spiders everywhere.
They show me cracks in the corners,
the expanding universe.

High above the streets,
ripples made in heaven.
Someone’s jumping through,
nobody can see them.
I look up and see
stars are gathering
cause they can. I am following the bugs
into the corners of the room,
it’s a 9am, an entry point to all over the world.
