For Itself

I like this room we're in
and I like this town
taken from Indians
no longer around
once land belonged to no one
but those who loved it for itself

Grateful to be alive
to have lived to this day
my parents split long ago
--we turned out o.k.
What is the point at this point
but to love
life itself

Gigantic global crises
have our backs to the wall
may there be lots of us left
come the denoument

Glad I got you to love
Glad you got me
but when we get really old
have to see how that'll be
we have now all that matters
--knowing that love's enough for itself
