things tend to move 
we get stuck 
then find the groove 

by mistake or with luck 
learning to 
ride with you 

I’m down with ups 
life’s always new

did I ever mention 
we share 
a certain tension 

it’s a secret 
lesson 
I’ve never learned 

repeated til I’m badly burned 
restarting my library soon-life’s always new 

even at its worst something’s 
moving through the pain 
that something pulls us through 

we survive the confusion 
creating new illusions 
that somehow reveal the truth 

again and again 
until we understand
