Upstream

Starting to fly slightly above

Feet are just barely grazing the earth

The view has been flipped

The arrow pointing in

Cannot unsee that which has been seen

You want to show her your deep admiration

And hope she returns a mutual consideration

You don't see the message in wordless spaces

She needs just one thing to start a real conversation

The running away has no end

Tomorrow will not come

No matter the speed of footsteps

If you could just be for one eye blink

You won't want to work so eagerly

And so you shoot yourself in the foot

Bound by convention and proven moves

To jump from a moving train into a stationary well

Takes wonder and a string

Pulling your heart upstream
