I've crashed cars

I've crashed cars
I've thought about divorce
Your small window
So sunny
So small

I'm binding my abdomen now
And letting my feet go slack
I don't care about your tiff
It looks exciting
But I don't speak Spanish

I will evolve
I will become a phoenix
But not before you grow wings
It takes millennia
And can't happen soon enough

I find shells
I give them meaning
You do the same
We'll take a walk under the bridge
Reminding us of our sanctimony

My little bones failed
They will fail again
Forever these are not my bones
They are not yours
Or even grandpa's

In a flash I am reminded
Life is more precious than gold
I love it
For a short time
Then we go back to grinding
