Gavin Newsom
Governed gruesome
Counseled by fools
Didn't open schools
The Magistrate's hands are tied
He asked the Baron and got denied
The Baron's oath is to the King
Yet Crown defers to Church on things
Where Monks have sworn a vow of silence
And Pope declares he follows Science
Big manly man in a truck just passed me,
sitting out at Point Arena
He waved at me, and I waved at him
And when he saw mine, he looked away
It was the greatest bro-moment of my life.
Writing this now, another came
And I waved first
To anyone who has ever loved me:
I'm holding on to your love forever
I carry it with me
We found one another here, and shared love
Nothing you or I will ever do can diminish it
I know what getting old is like.
You look down at your wallet
and notice it looks like an old person's wallet.
Regardless how powerful the brain
The heart informs everything
For better or worse,
Whether we want it to or not
Every time I fly
I look out the window
I see things that beggar belief
The glory of creation is all around us!
Try a wild strawberry, and you'll find
They taste 10,000 times
Better than something baseball-size
And white inside
As Gen X takes charge
You're gonna see things get better real fast
But it won't last
You'll then be in Millennial thrall
Gen Z gonna have to flee to Mars
Time is the limiting factor in everything I do
Before I had much money,
I thought money was the limiting factor
But this isn't true. It was always time.
I'm old enough, many people I've known
Are dead.
One thing about them – even the assholes –
They were very sweet
People are so very sweet
Stopped at a light, I saw water drip
From the mudflap on the truck next to me
And I realized: it has to be this way
The water had to fall there
Stuff within us decides, and is aware of itself
But the decisions are like mudflap water
We can't know them in advance
There's no shortcut to working them out
Happening now, yet pre-ordained
