Your Fluidity

Do you ever

drip free

I'd love

to get lost

in your

fluidity

Dive into 

the depths

of your

endless

ocean

Lick

the salt

clean

from every

motion

we create

Uninvited

You keep 

ticking

inside of

me

And there's

no way

for me

to leave

You keep

showing up

uninvited

I feel myself

tense

and the fire's

ignited

I drop

my crown

on the

floor

I know

it's been you

breathing

at my

door

I don't want

to let you

in

But somehow

you always seem

to win

Will I ever

escape

this feeling

that makes me

want to

hate

Different

What will I 

write about today

Protesters

are being compared

to terrorists

without hearing

a single word

that they say

Let's just spray them

all away

Then everything 

can go back

to being

A-OK

What are you

gonna do

When a person has

a different point of view

from you

Why don't you grab your

pitchfork and gun

Really show 'em

how it's done

'round here

If you don't 

agree with me

The man

will lock you up

and throw away

the key

Being different

is just wrong

That's what

they've wanted us

to believe

all along

That fat old book

they'll wave 

in your face

Never mind

that they're not really

living from grace

You're different

and dripping

with sin

Who needs compassion

when everyone's

fighting

to win

This Is My Heart

This is my heart

Each word

has its own beat

Like a deep

rumbling drum

or soft flicker

of a thumb

This is my heart
