the gospel according to logic
i sat under the stars tonight on the still warm hood of a corvette
and the lights of the town were real dim and the sky was bright
with icy blue spots of time and gases and elements shifting and
flitting between states and the radio played some okkervil river
and i couldn’t help thinking that damn it were all the same, it’s
hilarious, were all the same and yet all we do is repel each other
like two magnets with the same face and god hear me now if we
just turned the magnets over and stuck together like we ought to
then together we could build a wall so high and so strong we could
protect each and every one of us that needs it, for all time and forever
amen.
