Oh how the nights
Are long a time
For lovers and dogs
This time dawn time
Is my absolute favorite
When both lovers and
Dogs stir one getting
Coffee and the other
Love sometimes I think
That one would prefer
To be the other
Oh how the nights
Are long a time
For lovers and dogs
This time dawn time
Is my absolute favorite
When both lovers and
Dogs stir one getting
Coffee and the other
Love sometimes I think
That one would prefer
To be the other
Oh how I wish
That we lived in
A perfect world a
World filled with happiness
And joy and peace
But we simply don’t
Rather we live in
A world of despair
Of heartbreak and heartache
Of loneliness and abandonment
Our real job therefore
Is as simple as
That single beach child
Creating a world with
Shovels buckets and sand
Know what I miss
What I miss most
Now please don’t laugh
Because this thing that
I miss is personal
What I miss most
Is your breathing specifically
Your breathing as it
Changes from awake to
Sleeping for you see
In that precise moment
When in and out
Changes to aaah mmmm
I know that then
You are in the
Arms of dream angels
It is truly amazing
How something as simple
As a cold can
Reduce even the mightiest
The confident and articulate
Into nothing more than
A mewing sniffing toddler
Crawling under the covers
And asking for mommy
This is what I
Think when they say
Even the old will
Turn into young again
There is nothing
In this world
That is meaningless
We assign meaning
Or less meaning
Or no meaning
To things that
We do and
Say for the
Sole purpose of
Denying our responsibility
Everything that we
Do or say
Is our responsibility
And to take
A cavalier approach
By assigning anything
As meaningless points
The spotlight on
You and your
Pervasive abject selfishness
