New Things
I can learn new things.
Although nothing comes to mind.
Except maybe that math class I failed.
I dropped out of college a few days later.
I can learn new things, new things…
I remember learning how to swim.
I could have gone down the big slide.
But that didn’t come to mind at the time.
I can learn new things.
Even though I’m 28 years old.
I bought a cake from the store.
I could bake a cake.
But it always tastes horrible.
As if someone poured salt into it.
And there’s no one who can tell me why.
I can learn new things.
Like repairing a roof.
Or making ice cream.
Or steering a boat across the ocean.
I can learn new things.
I still believe that.
