A Rock on a String
By Seamus Anthony Ennis

Random action,
Masquerading as direction,
And then one day: a train.
Conversation,
Copulation,
Separation.
Will they meet again?

If I must use one,
To describe you then let me,
Use the analogy,
Of a healthy, young tree:
Just a sapling when I took you home,
From the nursery,
My – look how you’ve grown,
Taller than I’ll ever be.

I’m just glad I ended up with you,
Dogs and cats and swimming laps,
And French fine food.
I oughtta change my nothing-name to gratitude,
Just name it, baby,
I’d go right out of my way for you.
Just name it, baby (alright, hey hey, ooh-ooh)

I find it amazing,
How the simplest things like,
A rock on a string,
Can change the way things pan out.
What if Alan’s pendulum had told the man “No”?
What if one year later,
Me and Jimmi had said “Yes” to the loan?
You’d be with some other man now...
