Night Surfing lyrics

You like

night surfing
driving ducatis
911 carreras
and working 15
hours in a row

Thrill seeker
lover of flesh
hot-blooded man
no one can impress

except me

because

I already have
everything I need

and because

the things
you love
scare me
I am unbendable now

You ask if
poetry is dead
Your questions
linger in my head

You are a good
question asker

Effervescent
like my father

But I protect
myself now
as if I were
my daughtеr

I’m no lamb to the
slaughter I can
no longer faltеr

Cannot trick
my heart to
see you as a
seed to water
But you’re joyous
and an expert in
drawing dreams
out of dirt

on the coast of
Malibu to the
secret place
you took me to

that only had
an outside loo
Nothing for miles
but baby blue

You’re macho
and you’re fragile
Egoic, fit and
agile from all

the night surfing
(which vexed me)
But I can’t explain

why that’s sexy
