First movers
Desire and pain
every drop of life
Insect, coral, wolf and ape
Levers of choice
and the will to survive

Desire is first, the one that pulls
the one that makes the calls
Every wish is beautiful
to the wisher’s deepest soul

Even the tiniest ant on the lawn
makes it’s life by desire and pain
Nature’s inventions keep us in motion
Nature gave us dreams and fear

The cells that feed our living brains
are moved by something, too
Building life with chemical pinballs
falling into the shape of you
