Try Try Again

by Nick Jaina

I want you to know everything I know
I know that's like forcing spring on the cherry trees
it's like forcing blossoms on honey bees

I will try try again
it's only one season my friends
until you say when
I will try try again

everyone everyone wants us
and everyone everyone wants us
to feed them holy
but we starve them slowly
and then
they feel dumb
waiting all night for just one little crumb

I'll try
to keep
my hands
to myself
you'll stay
in your seat
I'll stay I'll stay

I want you to feel everything I feel
I feel that's like taking hostages constantly
it's like making neat rows with the almond trees

and everything everything you said
everything everything you said
the sum and total
I'm thinking it over
and wanting a sign
a thread I can pull
or a break in the line

I will try try again
it's only one night my friends
until the fence breaks
I will try try again

I will try try again
it's only one season my friends
until you say when
I will try try again
