you caught what you saw in me
gave it space to mate and eat 

now it’s running around 
with its own sense of entitlement 

maybe we can 
never be free of it

It’s going nowhere baby
taking us along

come go nowhere baby
something will happen

I buy everything I don’t need
surround myself with things

time spirals in carpets
surrounding us in cinder blocks

but I’m going nowhere baby
of this I’m confident

I’m going nowhere baby
It’s an improvement

in a world spinning too fast
to hold onto

I’ll stay where I am 
right next to you
