The Other Side of the Year
A whole round, swollen, bursting, voluptuous year. . .
19 take offs and landings please
let that be a not-repeated record
8 steaming, bewildered new heads
2 very different sets of what these words mean. . . .
friends, school, jobs, cars, winter, home
chips
And I must say -
I love my world. Both sides of it.
How they fit together in a confusing jumble of incongruency suddenly matters less,
And what matters more
is that I can stretch happily awake between warm tangles of sheets
is that I have an amazing life
is that it gets more complicated, and more wonderful
from every side
of the world, of the year
and apparently KT Tunstall has decided to write just for this blog
Other Side of the World
