I remember how
And now I grow
Outgrow
Grow
And go.

The flurry of desire to take up space
To spread my wings as far as they could expand
Every white pure interlaced with gold and silver
A sparkling blood red
I don't have to question now
I just now I flutter and fly.

Passing through bridges
The city of Chicago landscape
I think sweetly of all
Of it all.
Of how much I've given
And lost
And gained

And in the midst of that sentence
My driver
A beautiful woman who can barely speak English
But could turn back and smile at me knowingly
"Tequila?!"
She knew we smiled and laughed
And just now pointed with her long index finger
To a car wth the corner entirely crushed, it's insides exploding into little yellow and orange malted parts
And that's why with every fiber of joy
I fear the disaster, destruction.

A little Christmas tree
We reinvent and make our own rules
I recover from what I was wrong
And overly eager about
You text me back
Keeping the bed warm
As I glance nostalically at the beach
Covered in snow we race right past
As I see my first year of Chicago
**** and echo by

She angry now
The woman who likens herself to a butterfly
But she angry with the truth
And I open and close my eyes
And simply say
You gotta work for it *****
Nothing comes to those don't invest
And eat the apple.

I'm so here
And I don't gotta prove it anymore
It's just an untold fact.
