so here it is, kids
the reason we exist and evolved from fish
the mission-accomplished-goals-set set
is treading water buying houses having daughters
feelings fodder for memory slaughter
go get the teeter-todder
because its uneven to be bleeding stuff inside
but on the outside free of bruises and cuts
its like going nuts quietly with a sly, gentle smile
without a 401K plan
nothing but a handful of Jamba Juice coupons to hold
because you feel old and flabby and the beef is too fattening
heres a cleanse rinse drink causing diarrhea
and a penance for only being who you are
instead of all you can dream of
from hummingbird to sea slug
feeling this silly kind of E love
and a social anxiety that silences me enough
to only speak up to say the words good bye
so were all born and we all die
and theres a lot of shows on TV
may silent thoughts sing calm strong words
heard during commercial breaks
and no one can ever take away
that sometimes feeling of being a beautiful human being
and the love that you have known
