Joining You

Dear darlin

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

Guess she thought I would be the perfect resort

Because weve 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 ever want to be brainwashed

And you we're mindboggling you were intense

You we're 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 were 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 talk 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 a reflection

We need a really good memory

Feel free to call me a little more often
