It's not the taking
It's the giving
That I love
The taking is a nervous tick
A brief blip
On a screen that flips into and out of focus
But the giving
Of myself to myself
With no thought of myself
Like I was Jesus
That above all others
Is news in the making
And I love it like I love myself
Totally and without reserve
And in the end we all get
Exactly what we fucking deserve
