At the edge of Peru there is a left
Between that wave and my honeymoon
Lives a hesitation
Pears for dinner
Prussian Blue for lunch
Nothing for breakfast
My wife doesn't eat breakfast
Stale lemon poppyseed seeps from humid plastic
And once again my coffee has frozen solid
Soy sips drip and I don't feel any more, awake
She points to an airplane and like that
we’re late
