distract me and let's drift away
into a better universe;
where nothing matters but the other, and fickle issues discintegrate.
you take deep breaths, i'll eat my protein
while fear and worry become extinct.
we'll stain ourselves with a nice scene,
inch by inch, through a pinhole.
and start out brand new, exfoliating doubt and negativity
with carefully constructed blueprints.
we'll swear like rappers and rally insults until someone hits a harder shot,
but hurt won't hurt anymore.
we'll bang drumsticks on old brick walls and chalk up our opinions,
or simply let the minds in our hands take control.
you can talk about your childhood while i destroy pinecones and try
to analyze it, quoting kate nash, max bemis, jenny lewis, and any song.
we'll write anthems and boast them beside a campfire,
doodling rings of smoke and burning pinestraw.
and we'll laugh at the others, laugh at ourselves,
laugh at the oxidized hapiness escaping our skin.
nothing will matter because we won't let it bother,
because we are all that will be important
