run the wire

octopon sue is so far away
and i feel like i'll never get to say
all the things i've been feeling
those lofty, indeterminate feelings that lay within
no method exists to bridge the gap
kittyhawk hasn't happened
and steam lacks lustre
and i couldn't afford to run the pony express
so i'll run
run
run
down to the bottom of the ocean that no one talks about
all the way across and bring that telegraph wire to europe
and if you weren't there i'd run run to asia, australia
the moon and back
even when all options are exhausted i'd tell myself
that you're there. somewhere
and that's what keeps me running

do you know what? this is my favorite thing i've read thus far by you, zackariah. immediately, it became unbelievably special to me. bonded with my heart&such. the heart that i like, not the heart that i hate. you know.
