Earn calluses
Crane your neck
Wake up before your time
Brew the coffee
Keep it black
Your pulse could use the slap
Florescent lights
The whir of traffic
passing on the right
Shape shift, night shift
Marathon
What thing still drives you on?

And I could only come to one
word to describe it all
(the motivation, discovery
evolution, recovery)
We are all built of Love

Sal says, “Good friends
are hard to find.
Lived here since ’73.”
A home built in a tiny crowd
keeps the lonely heart busy
Doctor in a midnight lab
divides cells in a dish
Father needs a new liver
The sleepless nights
wear her thin

And I could only come to one
word to describe it all
(the motivation, discovery
evolution, recovery)
We are all built of love

Believe in love
I believe in you
Believe in love
I believe in you
Believe in love
I believe in you
Believe in love
I believe in love
