Push It

(S. A. J. Duffy)

 

 

A break in the chain

A ring down a drain

With no-one to blame

For only I came

 

Why oh why

Did I ever ask you

Why oh why

Do you know why you couldn’t see it through

I guess you have to find what you can’t do

 

And push it

Come on, catch me if you can

You push it

Come on, catch me if you can

You push it

Catch me if you can

 

It’s always the same

It starts as a game

Ends in a scream

Of love’s academe

 

Why oh why

Can’t you help yourself

And try to understand yourself

Your love is always engineered

Your soft spots never volunteered

 

You push it

Come on, catch me if you can

You push it

Come on, catch me if you can

You push it

Catch me if you can

 

Our courtship lovingly oblique

Like “on the road” meets “holy week”

Prostrate on a hotel bed

We talked about the books we’ve read

 

Push it

Come on, catch me if you can

You push it

Come on, catch me if you can

You push it

Come on, catch me if you can

Push it

Come on, catch me if you can

You push it push it

Catch me if you can

You push it push it

Catch me if you can

Push it

Come on, catch me if you can

You push it push it

Catch me if you can

You push it push it

Catch me if you can

You push it push it

Catch me if you can

You push it push it
