Joining You

Dear darling

Your mom, my friend

Left a message on my machine

She was frantic

Saying you were talking crazy

That you wanted to do away with yourself

I guess she thought I would be the perfect resort

Because we've had this inexplicable connection

Since our youth

And yes, they're in shock

They are panicked

You and your chronic

Them and their drama

You, this embarassment

Us in the middle of this delusion

If we were our bodies

If we were our futures

If we were our defenses

I'd be joining you

If we were our culture

If we were our leaders

If we were our denials

I'd be joining you

I remember vividly a day years ago

We were camping

You knew more than you thought you should know

You said: I don't want ever to be brainwashed

And you were mind-boggling

You were intense

You were uncomfortable in your own skin

You were thirsty

But mostly, you were beautiful

If we were our nametags

If we were our rejections

If we were our outcomes

I'd be joining you

If we were our indignities

If we were our successes

If we were our emotions

I'd be joining you

You and I, we're like four-year-olds

We want to know why

And how come about everything

We want to reveal ourselves at will

And speak our minds

And never talk small and be intuitive

And question mightily

And find God, my tortured beacon

We need to find like-minded companions

If we were their condemnations

If we were their projections

If we were our paranoias

I'd be joining you

If we were our incomes

If we were our obsessions

If we were our afflictions

I'd be joining you

We need reflection

We need a really good memory

Feel free to call me a little more often
