lining up my marbles on a crack in the pavement
no chance of a straight line
playing second fiddle to a memorial
planting landmines in the garden
waiting on the sun to work the blossoms free
somewhere in between
my mind wanders onto the diagram of our future
and in this noontime light
I see all the flaws and fatalities that Ive tried to cover
with flowerbeds and fortune cookies
I lie back and ponder
the responsibilities that are being piled in the shadows
by the one I dare to love
and wonder what its all about

innocence is sometimes a byproduct of our imagination
engineered by a tender smile and a play on words,
a play on light, that distorts the facts and findings
of the questions we ask before investing our souls
into that idiot savant we call love

Love it. This is shooting straight from the hip (or the heart)
