Housekeeping

Before you leave the house today
In your paltry New York way
Would you close your eyes and think
How’d I get here?
Through a trillion human lives
To this very body in which I’m alive?
And I love, and I love, and I love, and I love, and I love this body
And I love, and I love, and I love, and I love, and I love this body
And I love, and I love, and I love, and I love, and I love this body
Even when it hurts, leaping from a window
And I clear my life away
All the superficial things
Everyone I meet, I have no connection
The basic human way
I gotta clean up the space
'Til I love, 'til I love, 'til I love, 'til I love, 'til I love its corners
Til my life, 'til my life, 'til my life, 'til my life, 'til my life is over
And I love, and I love, and I love, and I love, and I love this body
Even when it hurts, leaping from a window
