SUNDAY PRAYER, clxxx
time & time again
we all go crazy. the little squirrel
in your skull is throwing nuts
the bolts that pin your heart
are stripped & poison-tipped
but get a grip and hold on tight
be the anchor to your kite
the night is forever young.
don't let your story go unsung!
time & time again
two-timing god. i got patience, but
for somebody so ancient, grow up.
you made her take a little vacation
from her mind. why?
why does this always happen to me?
why do the good ones always happen to be
so irresistibly crazy?
i am i am.
but you're a birthday,
deep with the dayshine
from dusk to moonbreak,
the dust of keepsakes
time & time again, i am i am
