dear dar(lin') 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'd be a 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 drAba
you this embarrassment 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 mindboggling 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
out 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
