As you got older there were days of cold surrender

    Days of shrugged whatevers folded in with days of shocking splendor

    but as time advanced the lovely days were covered up from view

    by an advancing melancholy haze that hovered near the dew

    Yet there were moments

    there were these pure arresting moments when you stepped outside your head

    outside your pain outside control, outside the bullshit, out of body, out of rage

    outside the need to get it, get it, you will never get it, that’s okay
