Clear Vision

I wonder if he’s waiting for someone to come around and tell him what he’s waiting for? Well, every day that I walk by, he looks me straight into the eye, and I feel his pain, funny how it feels like mine. But I go on along my day, living my little life in a really big way.
And through no decision, time rolls us along, and all these pink flowers confetti the lawn. And I know what I want so long as it’s gone, so long as it’s out of sight, I’ve got clear vision.
And through no decision time rolls us along, and all of our bodies confetti the lawn. And I don’t know what he wants, but I hope it’s coming soon...For that, I’ve got clear vision.
I’m so scared of being bored, I’m so scared of wasting my time. And I’m so scared of waiting for someone who’s not coming to walk on by.

Bell Pepper

Is growing a point of focus? Something takes shape and I don’t recognize myself. Something takes place, and I don’t see myself inside that place. I hope someday I don’t even recognize the shape of pushing away, all my pushing away. Does growing peak? Does growing rise and fall like a bell pepper snaps against the blade? Falling open, neither afraid nor unafraid. Just there, body split in two. Something takes place, and there’s no resistance to the new.

Star Power

Out there, you laugh and you stare at everybody. I’m by your side, watching strangers’ eyes turn to you and your body, and you handle it so beautifully. I wouldn’t know what to do if I got all the attention you do. You catch me seeking out limelight, beaming outta your eyes. That star power, baby! Turning me crazy, from dust to dust. And you somehow know what to do with me, and that curtain I’m peeking through — you come, and rip it out.

Practice

Skipping past the point of no return, I take my turn to state the obvious, and I mean it: If we take this any further, it’s gonna hurt. If I love you any more then I’m out the door, baby.
I do my inner work religiously, and I practice saying sorry. And holding what I feel without pressure to change it into something better. Always looking for something better, don’t even notice what’s in front of me now. Something I gotta get better at forgiving myself for not figuring out.
Circling back again to the conversation at hand, I don’t get what you want from me? I tend to fall way short of the hopes my lovers hold — I said I practice saying sorry. But somehow you build something I trust beyond what I have to give. And somehow you choose to [bring me your milk, and it just goes down.]*
* Aldous Harding, “I’m So Sorry”
