I am a first generation Park bench blue-jay. I have scoured every subway And train station track crack Pattering my little feet A little foot closer To every cold heart In every concrete city From here to where ever the **** Blue birds go.
In my travels, I have seen Floorboards mold to the Shape of a man's feet Around the place He prays every Morning
In a much less a house than it is a home.
I want my life to be a series of coming home. I want my front door to be as open As a bottle on a bad day. And hey.. I don't condone getting Absolutely freaking plastered, But I want to be constantly Under the influence of love
I want to be so Intoxicated with The music of the universe That Brian Greene Will never go To another book signing.
I want to feel the orchestra Of atoms in my hand Like every Eagle Scout Who earned his Carving badge On the bathroom stall
Y'all, "I was here."
---And not one of you Can write that Like IΒ Β just did.---
I was here. And God knows If I go somewhere I'll always know How to get back
So if anyone asks me What I'm going to Do with my life I'm gonna tell them that. Because I swear, I'm not anything more than me. Experiencing this moment momentarily.
And honestly, I have spent more time And more money looking for the Right church, than I have The right God
And I have spent more time And way more money writing The perfect eulogy To the parts of you and me That I just never really buried.
I'm convinced that When people die, Their spirit remains In a rebounding wave Of influence propagated By those whose lives they Have changed,
So for better or for worse, I want to be a tsunami. I want my waves To travel like butterflies, And I want to dream cocoon.
I wanna learn to love the world The way it loves the moon. And maybe one day My heart will grow so big For every bumble bee And baseball mitt That I'll pull a Saturn And put a ring on it.
Or.. Lots of rings.. One for every Level of my love: A through F...U..
..See, maybe Jesus Will write a book About us, Call it the little prince, And I will spend all day And all night Trying to convince you That snakes can eat elephants.
And I swear I will spend every Sunset and sunrise Gnawing my calluses On a porch swing Convincing myself, I think, That these hands Are soft as Thunder.
And maybe then I'll listen To a back alley Street lamp In the middle of A snow storm At that exact moment Where electricity And felicity Are one in the same.
I have spent years Looking for the answer To who I am, Searching through Every letter Of every poem, That has ever Spoken to two Birds in love.
