lyrics

I wanna learn to be a writer
I wanna learn to see the poetry in everything
In anything
Sitting in the hot June air, the walnut tree is breathing
My father in his old broken chair puffing smoke and reading
To my uncle and me but we’re both just laughing
My uncle’s read the book before
I say “There’s a reason that I haven’t…”
I felt kind of like a jerk
I wanna learn to be a writer
I wanna learn to see the poetry in everything
In anything
Talking but my mind’s tracing her curves, she probably thinks I’m clever
Stilted jokes betray my twitching nerves, but she’s free think whatever
Longest ten minutes of my life pray our professor will arrive
She says, “Hey! I’ve read that book before”
I say, “I want to, but I haven’t…”
After class she told me this:
I want to learn to be a writer
I want to learn to see the poetry in everything
