CRASH MY LIFE



FROM "SOMEWHERE CLOSE TO NEAR" (2009)





Letter to you, whom it may concern

A message from the outside

10:06 and all is well for now

Godspeed the rest of your ride


That easy weightlessness

I want it, I confess

‘Cause me, I’m grounded by anticipation

Consider this an open invitation

To crash my life


Memo to an endonautic friend

With whom I’ve much to discuss

Soon they’ll be lined up around the block

But for a time it’s just us


This quiet’s not by choice

I think you lost my voice

But still, offered without qualification,

Consider this an open invitation

To crash my life


Every now and then

The crows go walking by my eyes

And time and again

My comb finds a silver surprise

Well, I’m not old yet, child

I’m gonna make it worth your while

To begin to be

And grow up with me


So to conclude before

Signing off truly yours

Forget about a prior reservation

Consider this an open invitation

To crash my life
