Strength

We pour ourselves out through power lines 

And spread love thin on countless faces

Who do you like? Who do you love?

The words become worthless


Let me run from a bullet train 

Or walk a nail-thin wire

Just for the fun of it —

Why do you love? Why do you fear?

There’s no time to grow strong for us.
