lyrics

You spend a year learning,
not in the College kind of way, but the
How Do I Feel kind of way,
the Shortcut kind of way,
the Way To Do Things Easiest.

You find out that Some Faces
never fade from your memory,
or they're layered over with new ones
like translucent sheets,
blurring a once-clear image.

You find out that putting all your eggs in one basket
ends up leaving you without breakfast in the morning.

You find out that exact moment you Must wake up
to make it In Time, whatever that means,
dragging your ten thousand ton body
out of bed to add the weight of cotton
or wool of a now-slaughtered lamb.

You learn what you Definitely Can Do, or Definitely Cannot,
like really Push to Make Things Better (yes) and
Really Care Enough to Really keep up with Politics (no).

Importantly, you learn where you Live.

You learn that living in your head leads to steam rising,
or birds swirling, or in the clouds unable to breathe.

You learn that living in your heart leads to palpitations,
or thickened blood, or an ache so deep it creeps up your throat.

You learn that living in your stomach leads to knots,
or constant grumbling, or sour vomit at 4 a.m.

And you learn that living in your feet leads to urges, or lust,
or slipping on shoes in the middle of a dream
to find the nearest imaginary ledge.

I Live Here.

And so, hopeful, I leap.
