Got some news yesterday about someone I love
Suddenly a lot of things mattered less
Some wishy washy desires became goals
For a little while I had X-ray vision
The world sped up and slowed down at the same time
โ I didnโt like the news but Iโm glad I know it, because it was already a thing, so better to know
All at once without warning Iโm living on a different planet: it is barren, hostile, rocky, and dry
But I know there are treasures here. Iโm going to find them.
