band

open a bottle of wine,

listen to Over the Rhine
we’re going to pull through,

Karen tells me

we’re going to pull through

let the melancholy meld to beautiful

let the song sink down in

let the possible stay possible,

unburdened by the probable

juxtapose your ordinary self

with your extraordinary soul

feel the tension humming on the wire

feel the piano play

we’re all late bloomers

when it comes to love
