all the pointers they have shown

all the pointers they have shown,
that you & I need time alone ... 
(our busy lives are just a cover to keep ourselves one from the other) 

not just each other! 
a busy life will keep away the mortal truth of life's decay 
I'm fine just me! 
I'm free you see! 
Let's make a date! 
what's that? too late? 

There's duty & things that closeness brings 
 ... 
take response a bility 
some account a bility 
selfish gene a gility 
... 
well then ... 
Let it not be. 
not you, not me. 
we'll always find another! 
and yet . . . 
and yet, never to another. 

Oh hell. 
Just use me when you need me, find me when you will. 
my shadow's there beside you, a shadow there until 
there's no one else to need to 
or the minds have lost their will.

me without you without me




Me without you is a still wind in a cemetery
a headstone without words
an ending without beginning
a living unknown
a falling suspended.

begun unseen ended
darkness in sunlight
heartbeats distended.

Me without you is a midnight extended
dawning to sun-setting
a dream.

Othertimes.

othertimes me without you feels no better than any other combination that has me in it without you.
