You Are Here

My mother told me of my first word
I asked for more and haven't stopped since
I'll use each morsel of my body
Till all my bones shatter or splint

You are here

A spider's spinning in the corner
The fire won't start if there's no flint
When there's nothing behind, there's only forward
So settle down for the next stint

You are here
And so am I

I've made amends with the old me
And slit his throat with the receipts
Of all the wrongs and the reasons
Then sat him down on his plane seat

You are here
And so am I
So come for a moment
And stay for a while
You are here
And so am I
So come for a moment
And stay for a while
