A Thousand Times Yes

	I said yes, I said yes, I said yes,
	I prayed a thousand times yes.
	And the no that was hanging over the buildings
	Faded like the moon at dawn.
	When I was young I thought I was facing
	A very aware world ahead,
	I didn't know it was going to be
	Beware of dogs instead.
	I said no, I said no, I said no,
	I said no a million times to no.
	But the yes that was in it's last breath
	Still hovered in a room with a permanent flu.
	When I was young I didn't know
	That one can only read life in braille,
	I was still struggling to catch life on it's tail.
	I said why, I said why, I said why,
	I asked why for the billionth time.
	And my bone slowly lost it's moist
	Like a leftover coke bottle on the street.
	Yes, this dry whiteness of a thing on the square,
	That's my bone.
	It lets the wind pass over like the last tender fraud,
	Makes a little noise like old campaign billboard.
	I said yes, I said yes, I said yes,
	I prayed a thousand times yes.
	And the no that was hanging over faded.
