I Threw You Away

Jandek


threw you away
So I could play 
I wanted the other side 
What I didn't know 
I was walking so fast 
Now walking slow 
Around (I ran?) to the butcher 
He cut me up 
I took a lot of years 
For the pieces to get back 
Slow walking now 
Got no place to go 
And I don't care 
I feel like I'm there 
I'm at the playground 
But I'm watching the children 
I can't play nothing 
I don't know how 
The spirit moves me 
Along with the breeze 
I alight on some sidewalk 
It must be the park 
I like the flowers 
I like the statues 
I threw you away 
So I could play
