River to Consider

  • Thrown together like a collection of quotes
    When your not working consisting entirely of jokes
    While we wait for the questions for which we've got answers prepared
    We build a ladder because we think it's too safe to take the stairs

    It feels familiar and it comes naturally
    Nothing peculiar no sense of tragedy
    There is no wisdom unkept by vanity
    When we find acknowledgment at the end of our sanity

    There is no use for you, right B
    What will we know when the time is right to concede
    What do we risk when we sit around in disbelief?
    There is no use for you, right B

    Bound up like an appliance without a practical mean
    Will we be preoccupied with being?
    An illustration of ourselves
    Growing up from the ground

    I find the reasons of the time that you stay mine
    Instead of right in front of left and left in front of right
    Our definitions will outlast what they define
    What will it take if it won't take your time?

    Long dogs piling secret gestures on the pavement feeling
    Are reeling for our city as it unfurls when crooked fingers every day
    Growing up from the ground natural like electric light bulbs
    We are a river to consider Writer/s: ALEX COKE, JAMES PETRALLI, JOSHUA BLOCK, STEVE TEREBECKI
