Before, We Were Charlie Brown; Now, We’re Lucy
For My Three Daughters (of Eve)
Charlie Brown wants
To believe
Lucy wants
To deceive
But maybe, just maybe
Lucy knows something we don’t
And she pulls the football away at the last second
So that this time we don’t
Eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil
Because every bite at the apple
Has us believing
That wanting to believe
Is the same thing as believing
As if wanting to breathe
Is the same thing as breathing
Lucy wants to stop us
From believing we are taking our very last breath
So that instead we might take the very breath of life
And I very much believe in Lucy
Yes, this time
I believe in Eve
