IMPOSSIBLE

by Nick Jaina

the roads are stuck
cuz the semi trucks
have turned over
chickens scattered
and windows shattered
all over

it’s impossible, possible
to get to the center of the earth
it’s impossible, possible
but who knows how much that shit
might be worth

the flights are grounded
on the news it sounded
so serious
now they need you
all the Wikipedia
are so serious

it’s impossible, possible
threading a needle with spider’s silk
it’s impossible, possible
baptizing with the mother’s milk

all line up for the big apology overture
you can come and sit next to me there’s an open chair

it’s impossible, possible
to sleep in the middle of the lion’s den
it’s impossible, possible
how come everybody’s trying it then?

it’s impossible
