Lyrics
I took myself out today
broke the bondage of heat and pain.
I wasn’t bad company
but was quiet like a shy date.
Myself and I went to a movie
sad and hopeful, like life
where nothing stays on course
and we experience everything.
We went to a mall so filled with kids
we could hardly move
happy people experiencing life
with toys on marble floors
people with hands to hold
kids with mothers, families
couples, people under 70
needing illusion reinforcement
such as life is forever
but the earth wears out
and we are all innocent marauders
God this and God that
and church makes us pure.
I came in through Monkey Rock
where there were no monkeys
and the rocks were man made.
I ordered a Coke
at a bar in a children’s game room.
The tender wouldn’t take my money
but I left her five dollars anyway.
I will exit through the entrance
where yin yang and karma are everywhere
both instant and overdue
just like mystical tear drops
that dry in the rain
with intimate wind that kisses
and tousles the hair like a lover.
We’re all searching for the ultimate
forgetting death is it or because of it.
Pain forces observation.
Our date was silently intriguing.
We’ll see us again.
