Song A Day #984: What You Are

interstellar matter as a spirit in the flesh
is enough to make me wonder
patterns recognized as what they can or cannot be
tears my mind asunder
don't misunderestimate
don't try to keep it straight
when it wants to soar
don't try and represent
a life you haven't spent
in search of something more

carry it inside like a parasite alive
telling you the truth
cooing like a babe that is fresh out the womb
and searching for a home

i don't want to tell you
what you can and can't do
i don't want that on my back
but don't look anywhere
but here and here and there
when you're feeling out of whack

when you're feeling old and dusty
and quiet and untrusting
just remember
what you are

pushing on the edges of universe uncaring
is the best that i can do
pictures into thoughts and words out into pictures
and no space for me slash you

do it in the morning
when you can hear the calling
of the rocks a tumbling down
it's only an appearance
a static interference
that you wear your halo crown

under every hill and over every home hangs
sloppy dripping noise
we try to make it sense but it hardly ever does
and mostly it destroys

every single thought the instant that we think it
every action when it's done
time is unforgiving and so the grin that you are grinning
is all the more miracle
