today

In a world that feels dark and dead, an ignorant world numb to most feelings and concepts of reality, I am glad to love and to be loved, because love is something that, no matter what surrounds it, can't go away. So here is to that.

I love you.

harmonizing

remain consistently beautiful, girl
stay a true soul
under a blanket
the world pours topsoil on your horizon
the gears will turn
and the wheels will stay airless
but you will float
high, oh so high
tie me to your neon balloon
drop me off above the atmosphere
and i will swim
i will swim
i will swim
through telephone wires
and cable tv
land in an open field
i am your picnic for two
dinner and a movie
an overdue book
please don't return me
i'm tax free
so don't tax me
for my ship has a hole
and my captain is blind
and i am only a parrot
my promise to you
is a repeated phrase
is a repeated phrase
find reality
not in me
but in the sky
and in the cardboard box
that is pretending to be a television
trick or treat
my bag is open
jump in
don't stay in the doorframe
greeting elvis' and bumblebees
step on the crooked stepping stone
and come back with me
for my cavity is filled
and you are still sweet
