a hero saves the day
it’s contagious
i am here to entertain you
this time
it’s been so long
crazy around here
with all of this embodied energy
the two of us getting exposed slowly to
aliens how a human mind could even bend a spoon
truly
we are in our
prime
this is our element our time is only measured by sun up sun down
to do something great
maybe
something
extra nice
for everyone
white bread
you are toast
but you could be extraordinary
if you want
which you do
so you are
you decide
you are all knowing somedays but
anxious
it’s time to cut it out forever
once and for all
i heard
the church bells chime
the same time i left the house today
closing and locking
both doors i thought
it’s all a god damn miracle
we are on the edge of something
extraordinary
i can feel it in my core
it’s going to be special
let’s let it
let’s be feverishly excited about this monument of a trip back home
a gift from all of us to
everyone
meeting their time it’s just how it goes
this is just how some people were meant to go
you cannot make this shit up it just happens it is
universally understood
moving right along
you can say every
thought
that goes through
your head
we are so grateful
for our health
for the health of the people we love
we bow down and thank our own versions of

GOD

is a funny word
who named him?
that sound!
no sickness all in health we are strong
oh Canada
my home and native land
god bless America
fuck your president
tho
seriously
who allowed for this
think of your national anthem
and then picture his face!!
let’s clean this shit up!!
what an absolute state!!
but the people are good
the people are real
working here looking for
no accolades
not looking for applause
the people taking care of people they love
and strangers and that is what the earth’s core is
spinning out of control
fear exists in us all but if you can skip that step
put a skip in yours
get to this bit
and stop your mind from going there you know
you know
you can see pretty clear
there are better days heading this way here
we decide what we see
think good thoughts
constantly
and you are the hero after all
please tell me
how can I best entertain you??
