Poem: Love In Rio

Love in Rio

I said love me

With all your guts, your screwdrivers, 

Your carburetors, and your difficulties

I said love me

Through your pang of insecurities

Your monstrosities, and your many conspiracy theories, 

love me like you love 

what was once the 60s

Set aside your guard for me

I said you're going 

to do nothing but love me

The way you love old movies, causing fights, getting head while driving, 

and the way you love 

doing the Samba in Rio 

on friday nights  

Set aside your indecisiveness 

Let me help you make up your mind

Let's run face first into the mystery of a holy night and

Let's end up surprised
