We Understand Each Other - Brazos

All the plants are growing in much faster than last year

With our windblown faces, tan cow hides

Discarded laws by our side

We wander on the river

The seeds stick to our jeans

We point to objects

We give them names

We understand each other

We understand each other

We understand

Our brains are small and brittle

Like wild animals

We save each other food

Today we will see god

Standing at a booth

Leaving money for a tip

Our eyes have adjusted

We’re just as careless now

But we notice what we can

We understand each other

We understand each other

We understand

This is our test

The palm trees

The white cement

The traffic at the school

Airliners fly over

We are at a meeting

Dressed in pink t-shirts

I ask you why we came here

You look at me, quiet

And run a finger on my forehead

We understand each other

We understand each other

We understand
