The 365 Project Pt. II

not until you dip your toes
into a soggy desert
or walk across a dusty sea
will you finally know
that every contradiction
is righted in each and
every disbelief

we turn out the light to say
goodnight we wave
goodbye to taillights down
the driveway and
sometimes hello really
means goodbye i’m
raising my hand

one of everything
every year
and every year another
my basket is nearly full

maybe the wrong number
messages on my
machine are really for me
but joseph it seems
he’s in a heap of trouble
we pull our own oars
but i’m so tired

one of everything
every year
and every year another
my basket is nearly full
