exchange
facing dawn's time as if you were a windmill
is just about the brightest thing you can do
when you're doing things, becoming industry
and stepping in sync with evolution
out of the outside in your head
out of the hardware in your hand
waiting on the steps of the institution
I've already stepped into the breeze
and let it blow me blonde and mellow
so you don't need to hello,
but help me with the shifting of the sand,
and stop the grains
from getting caught between the weave
all you need to do is believe
that I'm in this for the long haul
that my humor is really a romance novel
and my morning was an epic battle
in return,
~
