Zeppelin boy
it's all because of you
I'm defining and cross-examining
in a vicious
pattern of putrid
open-ended versions
looking over what I used to be
and who I am
because I saw
you were not stable
and you were not sure
I like men built like bridges
not like aluminium balloons
I don't like waking up
to explosions
doubting which past
you accept on principle
which half is more the truth
when you can't decide
you should accept
but you are dirigible
by others perceptions
and can't accept
they may not see who
you've decided to be
