In time all clear. I'm alone with the thought of it. high outside. it's there and it's gone again. counting it fast and keeping it slowly. time all clear.
Congratulate my friends. on the birth of a healthy son. take him quietly and hold him in my arms. It will seem so violent. crying on each others' shoulders.
Late at night in the basement. singing along, hoping for some magic. who knows what power's left in the words we sing to each other. who knows. stretch it out the invisible like parking tickets on the dash of the car.
I'm not in love with the sound of my voice. I have been in love only one time. I see red shows, she is quiet the band is loud. Sharing beer from the can at the back of the crowd.
