------------------/My Eighteen Year Old Hot Brunette Pharisee Crush
R****, its not as
though we are wearing different types of sandals
love’s dirt road, ornery rocks of age discrepancy
my feet more worn..and battered than yours.
But our paradigms differ. I have seen whole worlds of
romance borne out
stars aligning and colliding, girls as sexy as comets
shooting
across the sky, yet strife between her and her boyfriend
like a meteor crashing
obliterating all life, from seas of hope fish once teeming, floating
lifeless
in currents blood red. A cosmos wasted, a galaxy marked by hearts’ futility.
I once spoke “let there be light” – and these silly girls
gave me darkness
in return (Ann, Whitney, Stephanie, Jennifer, Kina, Barbara,
Leah).
I know the pain of a broken heart, a planet destroyed. You don’t,
only an eighteen year old brunette Pharisee restricted by
the myopia
of her experience, Mosaic law. The mechanics of attraction
written on stone tablets
how to smile
how to make men nervous
how to make a thirty two year old man wish he was eighteen too…
albeit ignorant of
its application, squinting to see past Orion.
What am I trying to say?
I can testify of myself, that I want to love you, and I don’t
care about astrology
or birth years or shooting stars. I want you to believe
that we can make this work, cosmic co-creators of a new
destiny.
But my words, theyre just fantasies to you, disjointed incoherence
of someone who has walked just a bit too far ahead-
Savior with a scraggly beard, weak sophistry and fully
explainable miracles.
Someone who needs at least one more witness, a common bond
like a birth year, knowing a child of the nineties
is an eclipse
to one born in the eighties, we don’t share the same sun.
Before Abraham, desperation bordering on risk, existed – I am.
You don’t yet know anxiety, fears of being alone.
Jerusalem is just Jerusalem to you, contented under Roman
rule,
willing to wait forever for salvation.
But my Jerusalem is above, all convention, and societal
norms –
faith that cant wait, crucifixion looming (kiss me now no matter what).
Sadly
we are two people walking divergent paths, not of the same
world.
You cant go where Im going I guess.
(BUT I CAN PRETEND IM EIGHTEEN LIKE YOU, BABES!!!!)
------------------------John 8:12-25
Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of
the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the
Light of life.” So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about
Yourself; Your testimony is not true.” Jesus answered and said to them, “Even
if I testify about Myself, My testimony is true, for I know where I came from
and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from or where I am
going.“ You judge according to the flesh; I am not judging anyone. “But even if
I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone in it, but I and the Father
who sent Me. “Even in your law it has been written that the testimony of two
men is true.“ I am He who testifies about Myself, and the Father who sent Me
testifies about Me.” So they were saying to Him, “Where is Your Father?” Jesus
answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father; if you knew Me, you would know My
Father also.” These words He spoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple;
and no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come. Then He said again to
them, “I go away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin; where I am
going, you cannot come.” So the Jews were saying, “Surely He will not kill
Himself, will He, since He says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?” And He
was saying to them, “You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world,
I am not of this world.“ Therefore I said to you that you will die in your
sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.” So they
were saying to Him, “Who are You?” Jesus said to them, “What have I been saying
to you from the beginning?
-----Soco Amaretto Lime lyrics
Passed out on the overpass
Sunday best and
broken glass
Broken down from the
bikes and bars
Suspended like
spirits over speeding cars
You and me were kings
over the parkway tonight
And tonight will go
on forever while we
walk around this town
like we own the streets
and stay awake
through summer like we own the heat
Singing
"everybody wake up (wake up) it's time to get down"
(everybody, everybody
wake up its time to get down)
And when I pass the
bottle back to Pete
on the overpass
tonight, I bet we laugh
I'm gonna stay
eighteen forever (cut me open)
So we can stay like
this forever (sun poisoned)
And we'll never miss
a party (this offer...)
cause we keep them
going constantly (...stands forever)
And we'll never have
to listen (new haircut)
to anyone about
anything (new bracelet)
cause it's all been
done and it's all been said (eyeliner)
we're the coolest
kids and we take what we can get
The hell out of this
town
Find some
conversation
The low fuel lights
been on for days
It doesn't mean
anything
I've got another 500,
'nother 500 miles
before we shut this
engine down,
we shut it down
I'm gonna stay
eighteen forever (cut me open)
So we can stay like
this forever (sun poisoned)
And we'll never miss
a party (this offer...)
cause we keep them
going constantly (...stands forever)
And we'll never have
to listen (new haircut)
to anyone about
anything (new bracelet)
cause it's all been
done and it's all been said (eyeliner)
we're the coolest
kids and we take what we can get (wait forever)
(you're just jealous
cause I'm young and in love)
Eighteen forever
(first kisses)
(your stomach's
filled up but you're starved for conversation)
So we can stay like
this forever (new stitches)
(you're spending all
your nights growing old in your bed)
And we'll never miss
a party (collar weekend)
(and your tearin up
your photos cause you wanna forget... it's over)
cause we keep them
going constantly (appearance ticket)
(you're just jealous
cause I'm young and in love)
And we'll never have
to listen (November to...)
(your stomach's
filled up but you're starved for conversation)
to anyone about
anything cause it's all been done (...remember)
(you're spending all
your nights growing old in your bed)
and it's all been
said (nightswimmers)
(and your tearin up
your photos cause you wanna forget... it's over)
we're the coolest
kids and we take what we can get
Just jealous cause
we're young and in love
You're just jealous
cause we're young and in love
You're just jealous
cause we're young and in love
You're just jealous
cause we're young and in love
You're just jealous
cause we're young and in love
You're just
jealous... [turntable scratch]
