Girl…I guess [or When I lay my body down]

You mean to tell me you just gonna DIE with all that poetry in your head?

With all those songs in your throat?

So you gonna just take all that love in your heart

all that skill in your hands

all that dance in your feet

to your grave?

Lay all that innovation in a hole in the ground?

Let them sprinkle all those good questions and better ways in the ocean?

Put all that muchness in a jar on the mantle?

You scared, huh.

Girl…I guess.
