i never went to the beach, or stood by the ocean. i never sat by the shore under the sun with my feet in the sand. but you brought me here and i’m happy that you did because now i’m as free as birds catching the wind. i always thought i would sink, so i never swam — i never went boating (i don’t get how they did floating)
and sometimes i get so scared of what i can’t understand.
we watched the sun go down
as we were walking i’d spend the rest of my life standing here talking; you would explain the current, as i just smile hoping that you’ll stay the same, and nothing will change… and it’ll be us, just for a while.
do we even exist?
that’s when i make the wish: to swim away with the fish. is it supposed to be this hot all [winter] long? we are just like the waves that flow back and forth. sometimes i feel like i’m drowning and you’re there to save me and i want to thank you with all of my heart

so much going on these days — forget about instinct, it’s not what pays. pleasure up and down my smile, a carton of eggs should think it’s all worthwhile. tell me spirit: what has not been done? i’ll rush out and do it — or are we doing it now?
fissure is the thrill of the day.
forget about feeling (that’s not what pays). you know all of this can change so remember the promise you made as a kid:

we are the innovators. they are the imitators. come on — hey don’t you know how we started? we forgot about love, but weren’t brokenhearted.
