after Gabrielle Calvocoressi
Got a high five while out running
Put some pep in my step, faster than ever
I used to be an insomniac when I could feel my heartbeat
Had to smother my head with a pillow until it felt still
Now my pulse rings me like a gong
Feels like a blessing, twice a moment.
Getting haphazard with exclamation points!
The days I wake up and though my body aches
It's not a sack of bones, but a pleasure machine!
The days it feels like I'm running a marathon
And folks have got signs with my face on 'em
I hear them cheer my name.
Woke up with a hole in my stomach,
Opened the fridge to half a tomato and a note
"Set this aside for you. Cherokee purple."
Say it with me
no blades no noose no split skulls
My dentist's been real proud of me
Flossing lately, because I've been thinking
I got enough time, enough sugar
To worry about my teeth rotting
And ain't that amazing?
Running up a hill, some man yelled at me
"There will come a day you can't do this,
Today is not that day!"
