I don’t need a
reason
like I needed one
before
the earth I know is
tired
from one too many
wars
all the nervous
humor
is getting tired and
old
I can see it coming
and I don’t have
to be told
this might be
yes this might be
as good a time
as there will ever
be
I’d like to see
if I could go that
far
this might be my
year to go to mars
changes blur the
seasons
from what they were
before
the places I
remember
are just pictures on
the floor
I won’t try to
deny it
the warm that should
be cold
I can see it coming
and I don’t have
to be told
this might be
yes this might be
as good a time
as there will ever
be
I’d like to see
if I could go that
far
this might be my
year to go to mars
they ask me why
I say why not
there come’s a day
to fly away
from everything
you’ve got
this might be
yes this might be
as good a time
as there will ever
be
I’d like to see
if I could go that
far
this might be my
year to go to mars
