Why I Don’t Go Out Much Anymore

If you could speak,

you might say

abandon fixing me.

You might say

Thy will be done

and mean it through and through

but you can’t speak much more than

Yeah and the occasional surprise like

I visited with the community of Saints last night.

And when I told you 

the bath helper Amanda was coming

and I asked if that was ok, 

Yeah, you said. 

And then you looked me in the eye and said

I’m naked you know.

And the time you told our Pastor

the song you wanted  at your Memorial Service was

Why Don’t We Do It in the Road.

The best was when you told Mia

Love is deeper than distance.
