I walk across the lake
I walk across the water
I drink the sunshine
Like liquid fire Sunny-D
The peas are growing in their rows
I walk across the lake
The power lines stretch out to civilization infinity
I walk on the water
Every raindrop melts into my heart
And there is no heart
There has never been a heart there
Just an empty cold shell semblance of a human
And I've finally figured it out
I am a facsimile of a valid person
I am a well-intended idea
With no means to fit into any of this at any time
I feel the water beneath my toes
There are sometimes waves in rivers
The downpour flows from the sky to the mountains to the river to your feet on the shore
I will just fade away
Everyone else can have everything
The red and silver ornaments glint in the window light
Angels whisper cascade illusions through the sunny clouds
Time stands still on the fountain pen
I walk on water across the lake
