And then the memory took hold all over again
And we sit and witness to watch the whole wide-eyed, gloriously arisen world
Be absurdly enticing for its utterly invaluable, purified and utterly approval-led worth
Yes, it sure-as-shit attempted and tried to be disapproved and ego-entitled
But we crushed and broke their bloodied bones via this, our bare-knuckle bravado supremacy fight…
Didn’t we just!?
Answer me this though, please – are we really ready
Are we ready to be remarkable and stand in front of a speeding car
And get ready
Get set…
finally upset ourselves to GO …
– Witness to watch these metallic strips bounce right from us –
Take me by the hand, get close and smile like you were the wild one all over again … because I’ve been a-scared ever since I was an innocent child back-way-when we played pretend and made ourselves invisible while fabricating paper-airplane
And spent our days intertwining this a.m. to p.m. carefree existence
I know that you can recall the twisted cigarette hidden inside of your sweat-ridden, smoke-arisen palm – the one single thing my mother truly deplored
God bless her, too
Can we please leave it exactly right there where we were …
And play pretend ’til the very end …. because you made me smile like I didn’t know what it meant to cry
