Wunce

We're just one of the few

One of the odd

One of the strange

One of the proud

No more one by one

We're not one of the one by one

Count the latter steps

They add and add and add...

One is more and more again

We're one in a million

Mustered to two in a million

A hole in one wall of bricks

Two peas in a pod of peas

Is that what they say?

Is that what they think?

We muster up to more

More than a million people

Placing their blank judgement

Placing their cold shoulders on our backs

We're more than one

You, my one and only

As beekeepers creep upon the nest

So I creep upon you

And kiss your soothing neck

I dug the hole of life solo

Until you giggled by

I sat inside the old caboose

Red and swollen with paint

As the train zoomed on and on and on...

Zooming by without a passion to behold

No spare tire left to spare

You, my one and only

My one my two my three

My everything

The screw curls down deep

Descends into the wood's tender meat

To hold the lumber down

To hold the fort down

To hold us in the cavity of life

Digging on and on and on...

To someday hit the other side

We'll end up in China

Meet the maker of it all

Be sure to shake his hand

In hopes he doesn't shake his head

The screw turns on

Muscles into the weight of us

Elevating down

The sun was suspended

By the garden of light

Descending on the bashful seas

To give it such a glow

Suspended like a peach

On a frail little branch

I felt you in the fruit, my love,

My love, though, vaster than its garden

Oh, my love, of every little hole

And every sunset

And every train that's late,

Through every crowd to calculate

You'll forever be mine,

You, my one and only…
