Song A Day #330. “The Best Day of My Life I Choked on Some Words and Was Married.”
there’s a fire in the sky it’s a tower made of clouds and it’s power rings out over creation meanwhile on the ground waves of frozen sound break upon the backs of stale frustration and citizens wake up at the sensation rub their eyes
no melody or words could have cut quite like the sword swung by the hand of evolution to live and grow and die without ever knowing why knowing how to ask but finding no solution calling it divine retribution cut the cords
we’re not abandoned we are abandoning before we learned to talk we had to learn to sing without a plan we can’t demand a thing we can’t demand a thing
i was on my way to school i saw her cross the street and her power sent out waves upon the pavement i pulled over then and there i had to catch my breath and stare in this delicate amazement i felt utterly exposed, stripped naked to the bone
when she came up to the car and asked, “do you know where we are?” i couldn’t tell if she was serious or joking i tried to say yes and planet earth, i guess but the sounds out of my mouth were more like choking in the distance some peeper frogs were croaking to the moon
we were married it was the first of may and i carried her and she carried me the entire way it was scary but it was the best day of my life
