you can’t leave
like you think
before me
although 
we fully know
that there’s a chance
that you’re going to

we’ve got so many places
to go and there’s not much
time between
kids
work
bills
fixing the car
mending the leaking
basement and 
whatever thing
that has water 
running through

we got to keep
going
make sure 
we get all those
imprints
in every single state
country
that we deserve
