(set to "lucky to be me" by bill evans)

part of me is diffused in this world now
i will not get it back
but the plants, the animals, the fish in our ocean
the air in our sky, the people

they won't see it
but they will feel or experience it
without knowing

i am a dead leaf
floating through the air
occasionally dropping pieces of myself
to be picked up
by the bottom of someone's shoe

brought
wherever they take me

family dinners
funerals
places of heartache
and pain

i will meet other leaves
in this life
you've just
kinda gotta
keep floating

and doing what you can

avoid fires
that shit fucks you up
you'll lose yourself in a heartbeat

and trust me
it takes a much longer time to find all the difference places
that you have flaked onto

so try to avoid them
starting now
