Interactive

I thought we were interactive

What else could we possibly be?

With these videos and images

Things moving, sounds happening

Life charging in around us and

Distracting us from what we want

You caught something sentimental

Fished it out of the gutter for me

Love washed us and put us to bed

But I was still hungry

I always feel so hungry

You’re afraid to eat anything

I’m walking now, foot and leg

My bones aren’t breaking

Silence the nay-sayers just a while

Come up to the roof and watch stars with me

Be something more than the waste

Be otherworldly and meaningful

Yes, I understand, on with the show

I have lived here and someone should know

If we can’t create our own people

Then what?

If the seeds won’t take root for us

Then what?

We’ll be pioneers for some new thing

We’ll bridge gaps and cross horizons

To get to the point

To find the heart of the matter

But if I find I can’t move self anymore

You’ll have to move for both you and me

I thought we were interactive

What else could we possibly be?
