The Importance of Tomatoes and Fish

It was a cheeseburger night
when I gave you the importance of tomatoes and fish
You sat next to me breathing
and I thought you might like to suck up some darkness.

When I gave you the importance of tomatoes and fish
Did you give me the weight of steel?
I thought you might like to suck up some darkness
or play catch with the moon.

Did you give me the weight of steel
as we sat not touching under stark florescents?
Would you play catch with the moon,
or just sit and watch the T.V. flash?

As we sat not touching under stark florescents
you didn't look at me,
just sat and watched the T.V. flash.
I wanted to yank you out into the darkness.

You didn't look at me.
I thought how nice it would be to arch with the willows,
I wanted to yank you out into the darkness
to where the tall flowers wavered in serenades.

I thought how nice it would be to arch with the willows,
but you just sat there not even aware
of how the tall flowers wavered in serenades.
I guess you were afraid of the dark.

You just sat there not even aware
that I sat next to you breathing.
I guess you were afraid of the dark
on a cheeseburger night.
