A million dollars

Notes

This is on the same sheet as I'm feeling blue, which tends to indicate that it was written the same night. Certainly around the same time. Actually, I was typing this in, and the last stanza -- which I remember rewriting and not being happy with -- got rewritten again, to the point where it's bearable now.

A million dollars

I love her
  and it's like
a million dollars
  no
a million sparrows
  crushing my larynx
    in their talons
do sparrows have talons?

I love her
  and I want
a little pony
  no
a brittle pony
  to take me to her
    and break apart
I wonder how it will ship.

I love her
  and I'd go
a hundred miles
  no
a hundred corners
  spinning like a top
    and staying still
I think I'll get dizzy.
