Things That Stay

But there are also things that stay.

You and I we’re gonna fly,
But there are also things that stay.
Not a bird, not a tree, not a butterfly,
But there are also things that stay.

A child makes a man.
A child goes away.
But there are also things,
So many, many, many things that stay.

Not like plastic pens, but poetry.
Not pixels, but binary light.
Not the singer, the sound of a song.
Not the notes, the potential for music.

The possibility
To know
Each other
Stays.

What words can say does stay.

My
words went wasted

On
Breath.

My
words were in

The
Air.

Now

My
words are

The
Air.

And I
Am every

Where!

We say we live.
We say we die.

But there are also the things that stay.
