Three

Tomorrow I will
because I must follow this through
even with the explosions in my chest

Who can hide from this
thing that comes around 
like hula-hoops on waists
shoop-shoop

Here is my mind
what use is it
when I am standing
on water

please don't misunderstand
I thought I knew nothing
now I am sure of it

I am sure 
you
and that's all I am sure of
there's a you
enigma 
to the fourth power

I twiddle the thumbs
of my own life
anticipate things
that don't matter
and forget to tie my shoes

What can I do but surrender 
I can allow tears to fall
then trace the lines
of the smile in my own eyes
