i forgot to know what could be forgotten
or what could be conceived
and into the streams of time we flow
two by two
into this arch we’ve built for ourselves
they say you’re a needle in a haystack
it all fell too easily
we are now brushed away
an ax to the base of a tree
three swings and it was good enough
i was on top of a building
and I could see for miles miles miles
i just had my pride pinned to the wall
it just held up there rock steady
marvel at how far a man can fall
and see that life’s a uphill battle
sharpen your senses to perceive
the Goliath of opportunities
penetrate into the deeper layers
and don’t think of climbing back out
rectify your wrongs
and make it all into a song
pt 2.
to conceive of the possibility of possibilities
is a chance to right all my wrongs
hopelessness is an easy hole to dig
when you forgot your original intention
was to dig a well
where water can spring
from the lowest point
from the bottom up
and to take the chance to love
is a dangerous chance to take
harminouizing my voice
with yours
is hard enough
my voice always cracks
