Civilization

We should have a baby before Our civilization ends Or don't you want another me Without all the jagged ends Every time a new moon rises I can always tell Your lipstick gets darker and you're Heavy on perfume You smell like Nighttime flowers Overjoyed to Be crushed underneath our feet I'd say early fifties Early evening Holding hands for photographs Some happy slipped out In spite of myself I wouldn't bother usually I should've called my mother and father Yesterday when I was free Familiar places make me homesick And home just makes me want to leave and Friends don't kiss each Other like that And lovers don't make love So fast Then I heard you call my name And it made me smile To think of you that way Only after leaving did I Remember what I had wanted to say
