Smooth

Smooth

Like working up the courage just to blow it.

Like presenting what you know and learning more.

Smooth

Like the skin of a woman who’s early lessons dealt with appearance and sensation.

Like a plea to an authoritative power that needs intervention.

Smooth

Like a moment in time where everything feels possible.

Like dark liquor on the taste buds of a safe night.

Smooth

The way Joe met Love.

Like the way he never met love.

Smooth

Because there is no way this won’t work.

Like when it makes sense why that happened.

Smooth it over, nice going.

Taking the reigns when the journey is uncertain.

Smooth like a choice. Like a decision.

Like a promise of having better. Or maybe more.

Smooth

Like a new baby’s slate at life.

Like a mother’s ability to slip into her newest challenge.

Smooth

Like saying what you want with no hesitation.

Like learning who you are and how you’re it.

Like holding on when it feels good.

Like holding on when it feels bad.

Smooth

Like tears on the pillow, in the car, or at the party.

Smooth like facing a fear and realizing you were right to be scared.

Smooth like thank you and hello.

Like fuck you and die.

Smooth like I need this.

Smooth like help me.

Like stuttering on what you practiced.

Like bingeing on what you released.

Smooth

To have a vision with an outcome.

A plan with a purpose.

A mission in motion.

Smooth

Like I did it.

Like I wrote it.

Like I sang it.

Like I meant it.

Smooth

Because you caught me.

Smooth because I let you.

Like I focused and I won.

Like Duh!

Like What?

Smooth.

Yeah. Smooth.
