My Parents Went To Cancún

My Parents Went To Cancún

you got a shiny new bike
all I ever got was love

doing headstands on a mountainside
all I ever got was love

in a world of shiny things 
you’ve gone insane 

maybe I can help you with this 
in my own way 

you want everything 
all I ever got was love 

past the point of embarrassing 
when jungles are burning up

and you’re spinning in your drink
smoking the latest thing 

making enemies with people 
just like yourself 

dancing in your head
your cat’s in the fridge 

quoting a song by prince
about the pretty mess   

you got a hot new job 
all I got was love 

coming home to the floor 
maybe love’s enough

Non-Binaries

Non-Binaries never wrong nor right  neither black nor white  always poor framing  truth escapes while waiting    you I can’t deny I can’t explain “I” there’s another dimension  we’re always missing    easy solutions feel good  crushing doubts with boots  if nature only gave us straight lines  if god was on our side    it’s never green nor orange  look to the forests  subtleties you miss  haunt dreams in an embrace    not those ones and oh’s  didn’t write the code  swallowing contradictions  before they explode
