Trophy Life

Eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, mind This is a love and mascara lesson This is a make-up session If someone is dead, why would you ask them if they are alive? This is headache I'll buy you nothing if you want I am one of the first people to have neither a heart, or a brain All I am is whatever is not up for debate right now And all I did to make that happen was make something out of what had already been made of me Damn I remember when I was still stuck on stick figures When I fell in the ditch and could not find the stars I ran through the fog in pride Much in the same way that dancers run to rehearsal But I should've been having rare and tender beef with my friend And making jokes with punchlines like "merry christmas" I put salt in my coffee and said nothing, and then I found the sugar and cried laughing And now I have the purple Now I have the itch, that is the message enough The comic slip life that floats away, speaking about spring And the benefits of a high vitamin diet Will it come true this year? It will only be a half an hour of what exactly waiting I will go in the empty room you cannot leave and burn it before it burns us I will swim to the nearest floating object and wait there until the water leaves I will be louder than actors and children, and let my body grow wherever it wants Because I have found the "you are here now" It was behind the shelf, and not even that far away And now that I know where I am, my life is going well My life is going well People's mouths move in time with what they are saying And I love life And I don't mind that she makes rags of my favorite t-shirt And then blows her nose in my towel I love her Even when she successfully confuses me about what colour my eyes are, and then tells me about the time she was attacked by a seal on a beach in Cape Town And while it is almost impossible to sleep next to someone who is snoring, almost all of the people who complain about the people they sleep with snoring also snore Don't worry about the fact that we have inscrutable hair And that we live in an inscrutable world We are whole, and we are laughing That is the message enough
