Tongue-tied - Mia Doi Todd

Looking for a window into your soul

If and when I find it, will the blinds be closed?

I drag me up the drainpipe

Leap for the fire ladder

Seventeen stories

And I’m still climbing higher

Looking for a window into your soul

If and when I find it, will the blinds be closed?

I went to Samy’s Camera

To buy binoculars

Took home a tall telescope

Ten thousand times power

Looking for a window into your soul

If and when I find it, will the blinds be closed?

I set up on a rooftop

Just across the way

In the summer, sweat poured

In the winter, it was rain

Looking for a window into your soul

If and when I find it, will the blinds be closed?

Looking for a window into your heart

If and when I find it, will the insides be dark?

Looking for a window into your mind

If and when I find it, will we both be tongue-tied?
