I.
I let the sad man look in my eyes
Bus stop chatter
I smelled his broke smoke
Riding away in my seat
I looked back to say it's ok
It may have made my day
Do you hear the silent heart thump?
Strangers passing street corners
Beating and breathing
II.
An Indian man with no front teeth
And her, in her hoops and Niners jacket
Sunflower seeds and smiled laughter
Genuine joy that knocked my knees
Making space for the happenstance
The moment-
That arrived.
The moment-
That gave me in.
I want you to say
I want you to stay
III.
Been sick with uneasy joy
Taking is easier than giving
Unless there's nothing to see
All along me and my song
Hands in the air waving spells
Telling story endings
Passenger to this ego road trip
tangled mind maps
a maze of glory and blaze
IV.
I know none of this is
Real.
I know none of this is
This.
I know the point is to let
Go.
V.
And so there's nothing to hold.
