Dig

You know how you can get anywhere in the world?
Dig a hole and fall through it, the earth
Gaining speed and slowing down
Anywhere in about 45 minutes

So the obvious great distance between us
Can be bridged like that
We just need to dig for a while
And throw ourselves in

I’ve bought a shovel at my local store
I’ll wake early tomorrow to make a start
If you do the same
It’ll be finished, just like that

We will find each other again
It’s fairly easy
Patience and willpower
And a bit of dedication

Hours of manual labor
Digging till we sweat like never before
But then afterwards, one more thing, I ask
Throw yourself in
