There's Rules When You Pass A Graveyard.

—

It’s hazy before I turn onto Olive Street.

An ever descending elevator.

I was trying to meet my family

And instead, I met a girl named Ana.

I grabbed her wrist, thought she was

Another and

It went up before it went down

And it went down slowly, it did.

I’d invented an entire social ecosystem before it

reached the bottom, and

Ana even became someone else before it

reached the bottom, and

I’d known it was a dream

But I didn’t know when I’d reach the

Bottom

—

I

cover my thumb until I turn onto Olive street

Just one.

Because there’s a graveyard,

And I heard when I was young to hold your breath

as you pass, just in case and

I heard it from him that,

I mean it was him who told me that in China they,

cover their thumbs.

And I don’t know if that’s true,

Because I never knew with him but

Ironically,

It’s not and will never be him that I’m protecting

before I turn onto Olive Street.
