Spring has sprung

Out of the light at the dawn of the universe

Came the longest beach in the world

I swam through the plankton starlight and fetched her a spaceship

Her breath awoke me from drowning in the water

She lit a fire in the dunes

Rubbing driftwood to spark it up

We lived alone together like Astronauts

And rode through the Universe on a white horse.

For years

I hurt

Then took to fixing

I found it in vice

For years I pretended

To be a slave among slaves

For years I lived with you

And you’re me, you know

Astronaut, Astronaut, why do you fly

Astronaut says

Grow Up, Live with us
