winding up

Let’s follow the stray cat straying

Let’s say what we’re not saying

Let’s talk until we sound like tape hiss

Let’s save the rest for the morning

Let’s make friends with who the mirror

Says our face is

Every part is there for facing

Let’s dance around the room

Let’s dance around the truth

Are we what we are needing?

And now, let’s wind up the week

and start waiting

Let’s make fun of all the rats

Rats racing

Time is not a race worth winning

Let’s find beauty in the human beings

Everyone is one worth being

Let’s walk until our scarves start to strangle

Make you say what I’m not saying

And now let’s wind up the week

And start waiting

Give us time enough to think

Time thinking…

Is our life worth saving?
