a plane
is you

a cloud
is me

i have a big idea now
where did it go?
all over ourselves

a pin
is you

a ?
is me

let's get trashed
and forget our selves
blinded by us

please don't go
down in the basement
when we got high

a pig
is you

a wrist-watch
is me

chameleons for justice
doves for peace
perching on the watchtower

you made me a cloud

to see the structure
in only random outlines,
erased and redone

it was pretty
so i get high
and hope for apathy

an eye is you
an eye is me

but the world can see
you and she smiling
faces i've seen before
somewhere, in underground
towns, on another train
picked apart by ourselves
and bugs on the ground
scuttling

i thought i'd tell you
you remind me of him
when he was learning
how to calculate terms
that made no sense
on purpose

a wilted flower
is me

a storm
is you

i'll love you forever
even if you never change
and i hate you sometimes
when it's dark and cold out
and you won't sing a tune
i thought i'd tell you
you are loved anyway.

a cliche wind-chime
is me

a contested wind
is you
