remember?
a poem
Awe and wonder, completely unbridled
An unrestrained wanderlust, reckless abandon
I’m tired of living pedestrian horrors, come with me, let’s steal a spaceship and fly away
Mountains and fairies and fire-breathing dragons
Let’s brave the unknown like we did when we fell in love
Tears down our cheeks, let’s go running in parking lots
Screw the whole world, we’ll create our own destiny
Why do we stare at the red ink and worry, dear?
Why do we stress out and fret about everything?
Why don’t we jump in the puddles on rainy days?
Why are we so terrified of that purity?
Who has convinced us a dollar means anything?
Why do we let them confuse and indoctrinate?
Darling, I’m done trying to figure it out
Come dance with your man on a moonlit adventure
You’ll kiss me like we’re still in high school, we’ll nervously hold hands surrounded by color and mystery
I think I’m beginning to see us come alive again,
te amare para siempre, amor
For my wife
