how did you stay true against the wind and the rain and the snow?

? ! (well?)

they would like 

(to            see 
       you 
           strung    up 
            and 
   hung         blind    like  someone's 
         dinner)

to know 

planted roots held strong through storm and achy sentiments

a skyscraper from an old movie
(where the boy 
meets girl
gets 
to
know girl 
woos girl
and at the end they kiss)
the crash of you

the pairing of fixed dice 

the clatter of faux ivory against your
pavement
