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 wave»s embodied water sprouting legs as loud as a gallop,
Cuffing down on ground against the cries of gravity.
All the young people who took a leap without faith
Into a riverbed that drowns about as much as it saves.
All the young cowards acting out for the brave forever hurled
Into the waters of their indifferent graves.
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.
For a million years, raise your glass in cheers
We will never answer where we came from only how we got here
