Casual Encounters - Seagulls

Its always been something we’ve waited for.

I know

we’re setting ourselves up for disappointment,

and the road to success is a major annoyance

where i’m feeling too fond of ignorance-

and i know not the only one

that’s feeling down about the state of the world

but is at least thankful for the chance to do

what i love — i’m keeping my head down and plowing through

for the chance — we never know exactly what we have

so we make- the best of every single chance we get

til our last breath- it’s coming sooner than later

we pack away in a little room

(that smells like sweat) with three other dudes

man, this has the potential to be awkward

nose to the grindstone we emerge

3 hours later with a week’s work

while looking disgusting we’re smiling satisfied

while feeling down about the state of the world

I’m feeling thankful for the chance to do.

while feeling down about the shit politicians say

and feeling down about the shit

and feeling down about another smear campaign

we’re thankful for the chance to do…
