"Parentheses"

One broken wing, 
Soaring and suffering, 
Arm in a sling, 
I don't owe you anything.

I'm a bad absentee, 
You know when I want to leave.
So close up your knees, 

And I'll close your parentheses.

I'm a bad amputee, 
With no phantom memory.
So close up your knees, 
And I'll close your parentheses.
