As often as always evolution is crawling from the sea,
|
Alive with urgency like suicide, like suicide,
|
Convinced the grass is greener on dry earth;
|
|
The march of serrated utterance like a soft cough
|
Muffled murmur sneaking through the lecture hall.
|
The crawl across the island, the sound of waves;
|
Embodied water sprouting legs as loud as gallop,...
|
|
All the young people who took a leap without faith into a riverbed
|
That drowns about as much as it saves.
|
|
...Cuffing down on ground against the cries of gravity.
|
|
Belly-up, half buried in the sand.
|
Extend a hand to the smallness of death.
|
Understand that only dying is this colossal
|
Creation shedding skin to find a perfect equilibrium like fossils.
|
|
All the young people who took a leap of no faith...
|
All the young cowards acting out...
|
All the young cowards acting out for the brave forever hurled
|
Into the waters of their indifferent graves.
|
|
For a million years raise your glass
|
We will never answer where we came from...
|
For a million years raise your glass in cheers
|
We will never answer where we came from only how we got...
|
For a million years raise your glass
|
We will never answer where we came from...
|
For a million years raise your glass
|
...only how we got here.
|
|
|
Two minutes, and the lads are in for a surprise
|
