4. STUDENT/TEACHER (4:18) (mp3
audio clip)
well once i got up
couldn't sit back down
the plant life shot up
the world spun 'round
mother used to say
“i'm ok, you're ok”
“finish your carrots”
or something like that
i forget the details
all that it entailed
sort of got derailed...
when i got up
couldn't sit back down
the plant life shot up
the world spun 'round
dismantled swing set
finally could forget
and with out regret
be hauled away
when student's ready
the teacher appears
must hold it steady
dissolve some more fears
and when the teacher is ready
the student appears
i met god last night
it asked about you
got sort of uptight
when i asked, “why?"
it said, let's both try
to not see you cry
and what the hell did I think of that?
not paraphrasing
or eyebrow raising said,
“what the hell do you think of that?”
because everytime i try and climb
inside a twisted rhyme
and every time i wine and dine
ideas from my mind
it ends up being a fine line
that i find hard…
hard to define
i need some definition please
found room in between
what's seen and goes unseen
found room in between
drowning and building arks
found room in my life
because of my wife
found rumi through barks
fills the night with brilliant sparks
fills the night with brilliant sparks
makes mansions of trailer parks
and it makes one all of our
seperate, desperate, individual beautiful hearts
when it starts to fill the night
with brilliant sparks
room in between
drowning and building arks
fills with love all our resilient hearts
