[00:25.93] | With his back against the San Francisco traffic, |
[00:32.70] | On the bridges side that faces towards the jail, |
[00:39.42] | Setting out to join a demographic, |
[00:45.66] | He hoists his first leg up over the rail. |
[00:52.08] | And a phone call is made, |
[00:54.03] | Police cars show up quickly. |
[00:58.74] | The sergeant slams his passenger door. |
[01:04.80] | He says, “Hey son why don’t you talk through this with me, |
[01:11.57] | Just tell me what you’re doing it for.” |
[01:17.71] | “Oh, it’s a little bit of everything, |
[01:21.55] | It’s the mountains, |
[01:22.82] | It’s the fog, |
[01:24.60] | It’s the news at six o’clock, |
[01:27.42] | It’s the death of my first dog, |
[01:31.17] | It’s the angels up above me, |
[01:34.40] | It’s the song that they don’t sing, |
[01:37.76] | It’s a little bit of everything.” |
[01:44.43] | An older man stands in a buffet line, |
[01:50.55] | He is smiling and holding out his plate, |
[01:57.07] | And the further he looks back into his timeline, |
[02:03.95] | That hard road always had led him to today, |
[02:10.22] | And making up for when his bright future had left him, |
[02:16.81] | Making up for the fact that his only son is gone, |
[02:23.03] | And letting everything out once, His server asks him, |
[02:29.92] | Have you figured out yet, what it is you want? |
[02:36.04] | I want a little bit of everything, |
[02:40.19] | The biscuits and the beans, |
[02:43.04] | Whatever helps me to forget about |
[02:45.52] | The things that brought me to my knees, |
[02:49.62] | So pile on those mashed potatoes, |
[02:52.90] | And an extra chicken wing, |
[02:55.69] | I’m having a little bit of everything. |
[03:28.85] | Somewhere a pretty girl is writing invitations, |
[03:36.22] | To a wedding she has scheduled for the fall, |
[03:42.43] | Her man says, “Baby, can I make an observation? |
[03:49.31] | You don’t seem to be having any fun at all.” |
[03:55.30] | She said, “You just worry about your groomsmen and your shirt-size, |
[04:02.44] | And rest assured that this is making me feel good, |
[04:09.33] | I think that love is so much easier than you realize, |
[04:16.00] | If you can give yourself to someone, |
[04:19.31] | Then you should. |
[04:22.59] | Cause it’s a little bit of everything, |
[04:26.28] | The way you choke, the way you ache, |
[04:29.61] | It is getting up before you, |
[04:32.45] | So I can watch you as you wake. |
[04:35.88] | So in the day in late September, |
[04:39.43] | It’s not some stupid little ring, |
[04:42.26] | I’m giving a little bit of everything. |
[04:49.30] | Oh, it’s a little bit of everything, |
[04:53.04] | It’s the matador and the bull, |
[04:56.33] | It’s the suggested daily dosage, |
[04:59.41] | It is the red moon when it’s full. |
[05:03.26] | All these psychics and these doctors, |
[05:06.45] | They’re all right and they’re all wrong, |
[05:09.34] | It’s like trying to make out every word, |
[05:12.92] | When they should simply hum along, |
[05:16.13] | It’s not some message written in the dark, |
[05:19.42] | Or some truth that no one’s seen, |
[05:23.07] | It’s a little bit of everything. |
