Early Whitney

You're so sensitive
 You can feel a single hair curl while you're sleepin'
 And each fraction of a millimeter fingernail's growth
 You show half a heart when you play euchre
 And I face the punching bag and do what I'm told
 But you stoop so low
 To write a word in white pastel on a skull-shaped gauge
 You say, "I'm not myself without my Challenger commemorative button
 On the chest of my brown down vest"
 You say, "Coffee's turned my dark days into Woody Allen anxiety"
 You say, "Hide in Denver"
 "I remember Montreal"
 "I swear I'll write soon"

 Something about this

 An ambulance siren searching for an injured person
 That ain't no god, it's just a hedge on fire
