600 books
I’ve probably read
and I’ll surely forget
every word I once knew
500 songs
that we all sing along
and though I get them all wrong
every word is for you
Twenty-five years—
If we’re lucky, and then some
If we’re lucky, they will come
Every day will be brand new
Tell me, where does it say
You must seek wisdom?
And tell me where does it say
You must seek grace?
Is it love that I need, or dominion?
Is it love that I see in your face?
At the New Year’s bash
You look lovely as a lash
Lithe as a silk sash
Flowing gently after you
Naked on the couch
You are quiet as a dead mouse
I go to kiss you on the mouth
Every day is brand new
Tell me, where does it say
You must seek wisdom?
And tell me where does it say
You must seek grace?
Is it love that I need, or dominion?
Is it love that I see in your face?
