Good Day For Falling

Joe Adhemar


Today seems like a good day
A good day for falling down
We can nestle amongst the litter
And teach me not to frown so much
Search for what is reason, reason in the skies
I search your face for something
With every season in our eyes

I could read your palm
And you could learn to howl
To a Moon that forgot your spirit
Forget it, we get it all
We could leaf through books on Dali
On those days when it rains
Or paint our life with numbers
It pains me to say the numbers win

Nauseating choices and numbness that is beige
Waking up in boxes and boxed into a cage
Horizons that are endless
And seas that are always calm
I think I died of boredom
When I neutered all your charm

So hide with me in litter
And cover me with leaves
This view from our precious gutter
Is all that relieves us
I hear the weather's turning nasty
And the salad's turning brown
Let's crack on with this falling
Let's really go town on this
