Hey!
I'm down here
with bug bites and blood smears
just trying to climb up a ladder

Hey!
I'm down here
with all doubts and all fears
just looking for momentum to gather

Hey!
I'm down here
with the Bikes and the Beards
just grasping for a rope or a tether

Hey!
I'm down here
with hardened gums and dried tears
just wishing for hope or a feather

Hey!
I'm down here
with the poets and the queers
trying to write down what really doesn't matter

Hey!
I'm down here
blinking lights and drinking beers
straining my ear to hear your chatter

Hey!
I'm down here
with full lungs and three cheers
banging pots to make a high clatter
