Almo[D]st 4AM
Halloween night
Had enough to d[C]rink to make my own party
All my fellow writers in half co[Em]stume, half asleep
Half silly, gone to s[D]eed
I don't mark my t[C]ime with dates, holidays, faded wisdom, locked karma holders
[Em]Convenient
I am m[D]ade by my times
I am a creation of n[C]ow
Shaken with the cracks and crevices
I'm not giving up [Em]easy
I will not f[D]old
I don't have much
But what I have is g[C]old
[Em]I sa[D]w your f[C]ace...
[Em]I sing in platinum
I dress in brass
I eat in z[D]inc
Let it p[C]ass
[Em]Compare a toast
I like that
I understand courage
I still roll with the s[D]hout of a character I was married to today
I try to se[C]e outside myself
I understand the eyes
Excuse all the highs
[Em]Sorry
I am sorry
[D]Ha ha[C]

[Em]I like you, love you, every coast of you.
I've s[D]een your eddies and tides and hurr[C]icanes and cyclones.
[Em]Low ebb tide and high, full moon.
Up close and distant.
I read you.
Li[D]ke, the sky, the sea, the o[C]cean, the sun, the moon.

Naked a[C]nd blue.
[Em]Breathing with you. Touch. Change. Shift. Allow air. Window o[D]pen. Drift. Drift away.[C] Into now.
I want Whitman proud. Patti Lee proud. My br[Em]others proud. My sisters proud. I want[D] me.
I want it a[C]ll. I want sensational. Irresistible.
This is my t[Em]ime and I am thrilled to be alive.
