Rushes Too

Saturday’s involved

Making our entrances into life outside

We’ve been in this room too long

Recreation is keeping us self-contained and aware

Of each other’s forms still

And in full stride just the same

Keeping us warm, walking in straight lines

Talking to sleep at night, coddled and pacified

Our versions of mothers



It’s all new to me, it’s all new to me

Having you around

It’s all new to me, it’s all new to me

Having you around



What if we decide to live by choice

All this time I knew that average was

Something to fall back on

After genius ends, I watch videos

Only difference is

It’s flooding and we missed

Sparks of a lightning storm behind wet faces

Slipped my pants back on

And rewind it backward more, the tape stopped before

I was back alone



I’ll be back before, the streetlight’s on before the daylight’s gone

I was spoiled, by lavish thoughts they don’t compare

No not at all

And had this been the past I might not know

What to do with all of what you show, what you give

My words can’t hold

And if acts of God

Break us all

At least we did ours



If you never been in love
