A GIF and a Poem for Josh Donaldson
they tell us (josh donaldson)
to live in the moment,
each moment
never stopping to think
living a million lives of
blood-blind courage
to twerk like nobody’s watching
to toss out our receipts
to have another
cronut
they tell us, the old men
with the hang gliders and cocaine
who cried yolo before yolo
but you and I know
(josh donaldson)
these men are fools
because the moment in the air
means nothing
without the moment
afterwards
