I’ve never really cared about me I know I’ll be fine I’m the benchmark of resiliency You’re who’s on my mind

Ev’rything about my life Tells me that you’re poison If you’ve ever heard of me You know I don’t listen

Each moment at hand Is open invitation To the promised land

I was born for this Reflexes like a puss Even when I’m pissed

I give you an inch You try for a mile I’m glad I spoke up And still made you smile

It won’t be pretty the tears the snot the mess Lifetimes

Your face Transcends Garnish

Sittin’ in a patio chair Breathin’ in the cool night air Listening to the breeze Rustling leaves in trees I’m being the love of life

Lord and Jesus Christ Don’t forget the lice Spiders, ticks, and skeeters All the heeby-jeebers They’ve got their own place

Sometimes I will stare You’re just more interesting Than others in sight

Fumbling in the dark Searching for my clothes Looking for a girl With my third eye closed

Nom noms and tom toms Are really what make me move There’s a gravy train straight to… When you skip your needle to that…

I like to watch... an ant traverse a grass forest a flower unfurl in moonlight a muskrat reap trifolium a leaf quiver in mid-day breeze

Mostly I want To be myself Something special To someone else

I’m in the darkness You can’t intervene It’s just what I need For light to shine clean
