 I’ve got a million typos to offer

And a little bit of skin

Let’s start the world all over

Go back to where we want to begin 

And do


The sun says yes

It’s coming up again 


There is a kiss in here somewhere, she says

Digging through her cluttered purse 

You know a nurse is always ready for anything 

But a mama is ready for everything 

I’ll keep pouring, you say “when.”



The sun says yes

It’s coming up again


I had one baby

And I never knew

I could love another

But then I had two

And my heart grew twice the size that it had been

And then I had you.

And my head grew a yang 

And my tail asked, “Yin?”


The sun says yes

It’s coming up again


My heart has grown

While my brain has shrunk

And I’m happy with my ears of tin 

Would you like to start all over with me just now?

We could re-write the script.

(But I like the typos.

Let’s leave them in.)
