The Weather Station

I Tried To Wear The World

I Tried To Wear The World

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 took
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 warned 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 ever said to me
Even as careless as it turns out
You have been with me
I stood and reached out to hold
Everything that I am told
