Persuasion by softball bat

Everything's fine
There's a long time,
Still.

Just for now,
This morning I will
Enjoy myself.

There's a decade to go before
Afternoon
And cruel night.

All obsessions, wait
Here we are now
In the arms of the sun.

Persuasion means,
The things you want to believe yourself.

There's a lifetime to go before
Afterdark
And maybe a new morning.

Just for now,
I am here
In the arms of the sun.

Persuasion means,
The only things between us anymore
The way the words cannot be heard
That smile you make to hide the truth
A soul is lost between the two.

Persuasion means,
The things you want to believe yourself.
