Everyone Is My Friend

I know what i have to do and do it. i know what i have

to do and do it. but don't know what it is until its

done. i know it must be rough, you're so much smarter

than your friends. come clean in jokes. integrity and

tennis shoes. waiting thinking only how'd i like to be

caught waiting. territory mutinies horizon. disease

teaches immunity. a promise impled can't be broken.

and even now in the sunlight with grapefruit juice and

coffee bound and bountied to winter without end would

you two like each other or are you too alike? i know

what i have to do and do it. i know what i have to do

and do it. but don't know what it is until its done.

i've been inventing you and i continue inventing you.

may we all make it home safely. i know if must be

rough, you're so much smarter than your friends.

rehearsing disasters and forecasting all your needs. i

danced early then got shy and had to go home early. the

mirage will fade as it unfolded. the plot's defamed its

own voltage. a promise at the time can't be beat. and

even now as the snow's opening it's whole in pieces

and wets each grieving hold of last year's trash it's

not impossible to think of you thinking of me. may we

all make it home safely.
