Explain the copper wires
Running through my head
The hum of an ill-fated truck
Rumbles distant from my bed
I notice a neat and tenous
Stretch of thought
Running through my veins
Too educated to unite
To high up to rise
These are the excuses we all devise
As the old truck hums
In the distance
Should we
Shall we
Can we
We can
We will
Maybe we should not
Hold on to hope
Where hope does not grow
Let go
Of a facade of hope
Growing old
We have the power to hold
Each other to higher standards
Than our idols
Our dreams
We each have a unique
Possibility
Within us all
Hope in barriers
Invested in fragile dreams
I put it where the loathing
Belonged
Where corruption
Runs vital
All day long
Maybe it was our own hope
Vested in bad avenues
Me and you
Are to blame to
We need to unite again
Remember
We have the power
We have the strength
To come together
And put our energy
Where it matters
In each other
I can see the change
Ebb on the horizon
Life is so new
Fresh changes
Hit the breaks dear
Of you feel unsafe
If your afraid
Hold on to what you know
And move on
Let go
Give the show
Your best
Even at your lowest moment
Independent of the rest
Know that in those times
Is when you learn to thrive
Giving every moment to the end
Show up
And do it again
Be free
Let go
Into eternity
One molasses
Moment
Moving slowly over me
Seeing how the future will be
Let go
Be free
Into the depths
Of eternity
Escape the fray
Sprawling traffic
On sun baked streets
Of LA
Oceanside
With loaded garbage pales
On my mind
Outside the loop
Unsaid training stations
Headed west for
Western libations
Return enter
To the western end
Sip of coffee
LA blend
On the ocean beauty
Return to the feeling
Soothing
Back west
I can feel the dry air
Dry throat
Coated with sand
Sun
Back west
Feels like a place
I should come from
Would you care to explain
Why the wind blows
Why the clouds rain
In times of trouble
In times of success
Sometimes the simplest of words
Helps to explain it the best
The world will dredge on
Day after day
Enjoy the moments
Take one to play
I can’t explain
What I don’t understand
Why even bother
When life falls through
Like the hourglass full of sand
