You and I Temporary This house we sit in Temporary The love we share (As strong as it is) Temporary All the skyscrapers in the world Temporary The streets and the sidewalks Temporary Every law, speech, and right Temporary Every person you pass on the street Temporary The piles of bills and gold hidden away behind massive vault doors Temporary The pain of a particularly bad day Temporary Every mistake and every triumph Temporary Your inclinations, opinions, and habits Temporary The ghost and the shell Temporary The printed words of men long since dead And long since correct Temporary Every thick, coppery, snaking trail of blood Every minuscule globule of spittle Every boiling, salty tear Temporary The hatred of every person in every place in the entire world Combined into one stinking stream (As strong as it is) Temporary The soil that has run through your hands The sand through the hourglass before it is flipped again The rain that falls on humid August days The whistling of the wind through broken windows panes The sneaking of weeds tendrils through cracks in asphalt Temporary All Forever Temporary
