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

I’m such an ass You don’t even know Devoid of class No love to bestow I plant despair

I’ve never wrapped My mind around Making you feel Seen, heard, and found I didn’t know

I might be self-absorbed But you can’t call me selfish I work upon Myself To help us savor our dish

What if I watched with no judgement or saw without shame, nurtured your essence behind drawn shades?

Mom and Dad don’t love you They’re already tuned To their own sweet song Fireflies in June You are just an extra

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

Darkness envelops Veins of fire rend the abyss God’s awemazing works

We set out from our little town Across country, “We’re Phoenix bo… Reality! Rubber met ground At least there was a story found

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

There’s a certain point Where I put down my joint And fucking end you

Each moment at hand Is open invitation To the promised land

I need to get him out So he feels the treat Of an empty bladder Grass beneath his feet
