Our lives shifted through the
cracks in the cement stone
We shared a couple joints and I
vomitted into that brown paper bag
Remember how you threw your head
backwards and laughed
And I laughed.
I had it on my jeans.
And we started to make that poem about
how we met and how the wax from the candle
shouted out color, and meaning
And for the bones in me, I can't recall
where I slept or where the next morning's
confession came from
You said someday I was going to need you
You said someday I was going to save you
And I said yes
On the ride home you played that
lake song
and if fit the night so perfectly that
I still listen to it religiously
Then we screamed out the window
one sober, one getting stoned
And I realized that I loved you, the
way Socrates would love
I loved you, in that deep philosophical
kind of love
Music can do that
and you know it
So you tell me everything I need to know inside
songs that no ones ever heard of...
dedicated soley for you, me, and us
Although I do not fully understand the circumstances of the provenance of this poem (and, I suspect, I would not condone them), the poem itself is exceptionally beautiful.
