One Thousand Couples

Rollerskate Skinny


The Gethsemane head and the bathwater baby 
are aching for life quite apart from the flow 
do you distance yourself from the courage of crowds to get through the day 

so who am I 
to be so sire that 
we are the lost souls 
we have been suffering 

could you float a candle on the fallen tears 
before welcoming the waves 
down the corridors 
could you see to it that the given up dreamers 
are talked of well 

so who am I to be so sure to 
be so sure that we are the lost souls 
we have been suffering 

one thousand couples in a seizure of delight at the failing energy energy for like dreamers and losers never die loners and seekers never die 
they just drag those bodies along to remind themselves they don't belong
