I must admit I'm quite pathetic anymore these days
a mere shadow of myself one might even say
though I do what I want no matter how very little that is
and listen to nothing anyone says
an affectionate affliction of over inspired lust
a real closet cleaner getting at the cracks of all the
ancient dust
no one has ever recited to me even once before
the miracle of silence that is except you
how very odd that we can touch upon subjects often so
awfully sad and sore
like that is the easiest point from which to start what
it is which we do
recommunicate our need to one another on a level in which
we each can understand
by taking this soured uncertainty which we loosely call a
relationship well in hand
by missing not so much the boat but the tripping of
its anchor
put your hand in mine as together we attempt to
touch land.............
