< our heroine, sitting on a park bench on a cool drab day, is approached by a stranger, who says ><\/em>
Good day miss and have you ever noticed?
I\u2019m sorry but not\u2019ced what I said
No noticed … just really noticed
Freed from the rage rage in your head
Here listen to my good friend Eben
From the journey he took there and back
And he\u2019ll tell you that even on best days
At most it can see just a crack<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With even best days a lott\u2019ry pick
So why are you asking you rubbing it in?
I wouldn\u2019t have placed you a dick<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I just gotta catch up my breath
Hope you don\u2019t mind my laughter
But that\u2019s just funny
Like mistaking bright life for death
OK so alright no it\u2019s not a jab
I just thought you might want a teacher
There\u2019s a way to get tastes of the unbrained life
While you\u2019re still a decaying creature
(You might say it\u2019s an optional feature)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I so so want tastes of that life
My gray matter\u2019s determined to cut funky grooves
OK great will you please be my wife?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whoa
Uh that escalated quickly
Didn\u2019t we just the two of us meet
Johanna come on can\u2019t you feel your heart burn
I\u2019m the one who keeps washing your feet
Wait you\u2019re him you\u2019re the one
The one in my dreams
I\u2019ve been crushing on since I could see?
The only the same
Love\u2019ll bypass your brain
I can show you your identity
You can notice all true right through me
The crystal calm mind past gray sea
The fearless made so fearfully
Johanna just breathe and let be<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
