Easy to poke yourself square in the eye
   harder to like yourself, harder to try
   these elvis poses, postcards and neopryn
   roses a dollar a stem
   everyone’s sleeping or pulling a long haul,
   the keys in the cooler, it's 3 a.m.
  
   and Saturn is beckoning no one
   is off on its own
   is offering up
  
   late shift convenience store
   cut out the lights
   telescope roof towards the
   northwestern sky
   you pull the ladder u
   no one's the wiser
   tou find your sights and discover
  
   that Saturn is orbiting nothing
   is off on its own
   is breaking from home
  
   harder to look yourself square in the eye
   easy to take off
  
   you found the ladder in the pattern of your wrist
   you’ve seen and you’ve marked horizons
   mother was difficult, she made you cry
   cover the mirror, look to the sky
   you climbed into your rocketship triumph
   lift up and hold out your hands
  
   Saturn is orbiting nothing
   is off on its own
   is breaking from home
  
   Saturn is orbiting nothing
   is off on its own
   is breaking from home
  
   Saturn return when you chase down its moons
   throw them into a new gravity
  
   harder to look yourself square in the eye
   easy to poke yourself, easy as pie
   easy to take off, harder to fly
   harder to wake Galileo
