Elbow to knee
your hand rests right above my ribcage
you tap your fingers like wood
to the woman singing

Ive got you                                                                    
                under      myskin

Pretend not tofeel anything         since        you dont want togive
anything
but the truth is the tapping hurts
as much as the tapping
hurts

Ive      GO-ooooooT    you-ou-ou-ou
un
        der
my                              skin.


Elbow to wrist
we sit in silence listening to
what I find hard to hear over your
pinging fingers tapping wood

II.II    gott   YOU!                                                           
Under myI

Its thick very thick very thick I think
the table, I mean, the one your elbow rests on
thick and loud for tapping
skin

Hey, Karyn.  Do you sing?  This seems to enact visually many different
song-voice-events, tensions about what pours out when.

I like the quote in your sig, too.
