I tried to wear the world Like some kind of garment I reach my fingers down inside Of every single pocket In fabric stained and torn and ripped Pulling at the seams, I wander out Onto the streets and subways Perhaps so gracelessly It does not matter to the world if I embody it It could not matter less that I wanted to be a part of it Still I fumble with my hands and tongue To open it, to part it I tried to wear the world Like some kind of jacket It does not keep me warm, I cannot Ever seem to fasten it Bodies never want not to move They wanted all of it The light did stumble down from the sky In spite of all of it Why can't I be the body Graceful in the cloth of it? Why can't you want me for the Way I cannot handle it? Don't turn me around I'm already on the ground I tried to wear each word That you had never said to me Even as careless as it turns out You have been with me Still reach out to hold Everything that I am told
