Let's talk about living.

Let's talk about living.
Let's talk about passion.
About movies.
About used bookstores and story telling.
Let's talk about politics.
Let's talk about disillusionment and moving forward.
Let's talk about hope.
About education.
About being content, complacent, and satisfied.
Let's talk about writing.
And reading.
Let's talk about talking.
About sleeping and about working out.
Let's talking about school and work and initiative.
Let's talk about all the things that we think about every day.
And about all the things we try not to think about as well.
Let's have a conversation.
Who what when where how we are.
Why, how much, and for how long we are.

Let's not be metaphysical.
Let's call things as they are.
Let's make love and spew hate
And dance circles and run away
And get attached and break some hearts
And make mistakes and jump for joy.
Let's pull out all the stops and let's move forward with caution
Throw caution to the wind and become a real person.
Let's smile when we hurt and cry tears of joy
And confirm each to the other that everything works out.
Let's praise God above everything and worship idols all day
And shelter the children from religious ideals and tell them
Regardless, they're going to hell.
Let's eat til we throw up and starve ourselves until we pass out.
Let's pass undue judgement and open our minds.
Let's curse out our families and give change to strangers on the street.
Let's write sprawling novels and lose ourselves in tv.
Let's walk out in the cold and move someplace warm.
Now, let's stop talking about living and live.
