The Understanding



hands. are hands.
even when they hurt.

know that,
baby.

And no one
is more human
than you

so
when they
say

things cannot be
and i never was

understand

they do not know
these words
we typed
and sang
and laughed
and cried
and danced

danced
barefoot
and wide eyed
when
everyone
was too busy
dying
over
words. that are just words.
even when they hurt

remember that baby,

no one is more
immortal than you
because you understand:

laughter. is laughter.
especially when it hurts.

and it is our inheritance
to dance
even when it
rains stones
