Busy Day Of Ease

Today is the day all my dreams came true,
walking round thinking bout that sweet lil gal
with that old sun shining my shoes,
today is the day I look at the sky shaped like your face
and know just why I forgive you,
children bicycling from dollhouse to dollhouse,
sparrows singing smiles across the avenue,
today is the day I awoke and knew just what to do,
I see what I love and what I see loves you.

Ain’t nothing we trying to do but be happy.
Ain’t no one we trying to love but ourselves.
The only reason I was bitter towards my father
was cause I didn’t think I was my own man.
The only reason I cried over my ex-girlfriend
was cause I didn’t think my mama loved me like I think she can.
Ain’t no place we looking for we ain’t been.
Ain’t no joke been told we ain’t already laughing in.

Today is the day all my thoughts realized they don’t even have to think,
dancing dogs dining diamonds down by the lake,
wild geese waddling and crapping along the bank,
today is the day my heart wakes just to give thanks,
talking ‘bout the weather with old elementary school teachers,
cracking Jesus jokes with funny southern Baptist preaches,
today is the day I picked up the heart I left underneath the bleachers,
a basketball bounced my way so I took a shot and missed,
a cardinal flew by my eyes to tell me my fly was unzipped,
today is the day I realized why we all exist.

Ain’t no angel gonna let you die alone.
Ain’t no road that ain’t gonna take you home.
Mr. Business Suit you way too cute not to be always shining
take off your shoes, your money ain’t worth nothing no more here,
go over there and give your brother a kiss,
you ain’t got no reason to be scared to be queer.
Ain’t no thing you can be that everyone isn’t already.
Ain’t no thing falling gravity ain’t keeping steady.

Today is the day I cash karma’s check and all my bills get paid on time,
got angels sending me a million messages today
and I’m catching every one of them with my mind.
Today is the day that makes me understand there ain’t no me that ain’t
mine, garage doors gently opening, cars dressed in proper gentleman
attire, frogs croaking and joking, friends giving me hugs that set me on
fire, today is the day I silence my voice in the rat race choir.

Ain’t no man I can’t run from with grace and ease.
Ain’t no woman that ain’t beautiful to me.
Native child dusky dream jewel just because I am white
don’t mean you have to act proper around me,
let your worldly fire fly, set your hungry motives free,
jump on my table, dance on my breakfast, pump your passion and scream!
Ain’t no place you can be you ain’t meant to be.
Ain’t no Justin Blackburn that didn’t say “love everybody!”

This is a poem from the book "You Are Not A Normal Human Being" available at www.virgograypress.com
