If I never

ever

severed

yet another lever,

I wouldn't know the story.

The one where we went out,

Then never went back in.

That's the one you'd always tell

When I didn't want to listen

To you.

Misspent lies give the impression

that I didn't know anything.

The thing is, I just wanted

for you to think that

about me.

So don't give a damn for me,

Argentina.

Instead, shoot down my ideas

like you shot down the ducks

at the pond.

The one by my house.

The place I love.
