Forty-five.

I've had plenty of practice
and mouthfuls of knowing better
but let's say that every square
inch of skin represents a mile
plus every word I don't breathe
into the receiver is a lie
multiplied by every time I said
that I would never do this again --
well then, I don't really know
what that equals
but something is or isn't
on fire here and I don't have
enough blankets.
