Lyrics

I want to articulate
my perspective

I want
to articulate my per-
spective,
but everything
is green.

This summer
let me
be a friend for lost time!
If we all live
and die in patterns
laugh with my laugh!

(The grass made
the window warmer
—even winter is green).

Let’s press
the flowers, count

the years lines
on our faces
but you know!
we leave
some records we’ll never
review.

I wanna articulate my perspective
I wanna articulate
my perspective but everything…

We looked up—
the room was there this whole time
but how could I possibly ignore all these ideas?
and the same sky is now less seen
How could I possibly ignore the soft crush of your lips
on my screen?

This summer let me be a friend for lost time!

I’m overwhelmed by information
like staring at a tree without looking

just preparing
the mind’s eye for meaning

I looked
at the stump. Why build
it up? Why not
see it?

I want to articulate
my perspective
I want to articulate my per
-spective…

Laugh with my laugh
