And Then I Worry About Carbon Monoxide
What if everytime you breathed in air
You learned something?
When art begins to devour itself
It walks in our very footsteps
And I'm not talking about the shadows of our footsteps
I'm talking about the dimensions we sold to higher ground when the
Unemployment check decided for us we were worthless
Though our eyes glow like beacons
For each other, thirsty for connection
And then learning how not to cry as children...
We live like children now
Through the basements of our dreams.
And some of us have forgotten where the windows are.
