So the therapist said -
I spend a lotta time just living in my head,
I gotta get in my body if I want to move on
and since I'm so creative
I should put it in song,
so
On each hand I have five fingers!
On each foot I have five toes!
And on!
Most days!
I have!
Four eyes!
And a beautiful smile!
And a handsome nose!
On my face!
On my face!
On my face.
Face.
Hey.
The astrologist said,
a part of me's alive,
and a part of me is dead.
It's something to due with Saturn (I don't have to agree)
but if
I wanna be living
then my body is key, so,
On each hand I have five fingers!
On each foot I have five toes!
And on!
Most days!
I have!
Four eyes!
And a beautiful smile!
And a handsome nose!
On my face!
and I need space -
to give my tongue -
a chance to taste the buds
that bloom
into flowers
in the misty rain
of springtime
teasing its return again
in May.
and my neighbors say,
"We put a lotta sweat
in the equity
we lay
like a bed of roses in everyone's apartment.
And we'd appreciate if you would play a part!"
so
On each hand I have five fingers!
On each foot I have five toes!
And on!
Most days!
I have!
Four eyes!
And a beautiful smile!
And a handsome nose!
On my face!
On my face!
On my face!
On my face!
-
(I gotta lotta walls built up!)
-
Hey.
Andy Goldsworthy said,
The walls that divide us are actually very beautiful.
And so he made his own, with found material.
As we discuss the implications over cereal
I hear on the radio
before
the evolution of the universe
there was a long plane sheet of galaxies
stretching for at least a billion lightyears
that scientists call
"The Great Wall".

Hey.
So my best friend says,
"You put a lot of pressure on me and I'm getting fed up.
Sometimes I wanna kick you in the teeth, man.
I really need you to handle your grief, and
remember no matter what you're telling yourself,
I'm here,
it's a choice that I'm making and I'm not gonna disappear if you
open your head
and let me out.
We're safe."
Hey.
So my family says,
"It's hard to keep a job if you're always seeing red.
We're telling you that we love you
and we want you to see,
and we're happy to give you money for your therapy."
Cuz on each hand I have five fingers.
On each foot I have five toes.
And on most days I have four eyes and a beautiful smile and a handsome nose.
On each hand I have five fingers
on each foot I have five toes
and on most days
I have four eyes
and a beautiful smile
and a handsome nose
on my face.
