Knobs and Switches, Break downs and Build ups,

Unlock,
Get in,
Lock,
Check the mirrors,
Check the locks,
Slide the seat,
Early,
Listen,
See,
The white lines,
See, the yellow lines,
Think,
I'm not going to die,
Know,
I'm not going to kill,
Remain,
Motionless-- for a good-- forty five,
Sign the cross,
Check again,
Buckle,
Turn,
Change,
On,
Off,
Ease,
Let,
Wait,
One,
Way.
Between these hours you can do this, you can do this, you can do this.
This is something that people do.
You're there,
See that.
It opens up like a mind, to banners, babies, brass bands, familiar hymns, and not alones.

Our hands were empty and you filled them,
Skin and Toast
