Two loads

Two backs

Two sets of railroad tracks

Two lives

Two hearts

Two overloaded carts

Two minds

Two thoughts

Two tongues tied in knots



Now listen:



Two tracks can intersect

But never really merge

Two trains run parallel

But never can converge

I think I'll trade my tracks for street

At least on streets two minds can meet

Not head on or blazing by

But pulled over on the side

Calmly, gently, trade two thoughts

A slower tongue just does not knot

A heavy load is hard to hold

When holding hands, I have been told

So set yours down and I will too

Drop the cart, I'll follow suit

They'll still be there when we're through

They won't run off, I promise you

Now let's just talk, just share some words

Not growling bears, or twittering birds

Not fearful lion or spiteful lioness

Giant dwarf or midget giantess



Not anything but us

Us two



I'll be me



You be you



I love you
