forget it
we’re going to do this
the world awaits us
and I’m not going to start disappointing
now

don’t think about if,
or should,
or can.

we are
and so we
shall.

tonight
we’re taking it for it ourselves
and making a footprint
so deep in the earth
that even god won’t be able to erase it,
that is,
if he wanted to.

we will be hated for it at first
by all the peoples of the world.
because they are jealous
and scornful like humans are
but time will love us
and it will teach them what we did
was the right thing,
the thing that should’ve,
no,

needed

to be done.

we’re going to do this
stunning the world is a side-effect
but it’s definitely not collateral damage

we are going to love.
each other.
tonight.
and we’re not going to wonder about
if, ands, or buts

only thinking about the now.
the very next step in our path.
about the jokes to make.
the flirts to pull.

that’s it.

goodnight.
goodbye.
we’re doing this.
no doubt about it.
