you’re
in the passenger
seat
as we make the five
hour drive up
to the
corporate retreat
burn through
every throw-
back banger
**** on our
coworkers
**** the boss
at the lodge
time to kiss some ***
come on
itinerary says
meet
after breakfast for a
team
building exercise in
conference
room D
get a
lecture on faith
in your fellow man
pick partners
you’re with me
meant to be
I can prove it
we can do a trust fall baby
fall back in these arms and see
who’s gonna catch you? it’s me
the only one that you can trust
two lines of two
on both sides
of the room
slip their blind-
folds onto
their partners
as directed by
human resources
arms out
to support you
it’s time to fall
sweaty palms
poised to execute
the perfect trust fall baby
fall back in these arms and see
who’s gonna catch you? it’s me
the only one that you can trust
But can I trust you’ll catch me
Now I’m falling
You’re the best thing I’ve bet on
In so long
No directional awareness
No control
No doubt
You’ve got me
Like I’ve got you
Now that’s a ******* trust fall baby
Fall back in each other’s arms
Who’s gonna catch us? Seems we
Both have someone we can trust

song written 2025
referenced in my unfinished comic "Between Going and Failing" written 2017:
“Up next, check out the latest fresh-faced, sweater-over-a-collared-shirt wearing, autotune-heavy synth-pop boy band out of Cincinnati, Ohio. Their jeans are even tighter than their music.”
“Uh Greg, I think you got that backwards.”
“You think so, Paul? Here’s the latest, ‘Trust Fall’ from The All-Boy Babysitter’s Club - Jesus Christ...”
