Off you go
Many miles away
I wonder who
You will meet
And whether or
Not they’ll remind
You of me
Or will you
Pick them out
Like Dim Sum
Now I understand
What my dog
Felt when I
Disappeared behind doors
Of the schoolbus
Many years ago
Off you go
Many miles away
I wonder who
You will meet
And whether or
Not they’ll remind
You of me
Or will you
Pick them out
Like Dim Sum
Now I understand
What my dog
Felt when I
Disappeared behind doors
Of the schoolbus
Many years ago
Even in a crowded
Room I feel alone
It’s there I think
That perhaps others think
What does he think
And there in that
I surprise each them
I’m not who you
Think that I am
I know these things
And the songs that
Wait what I sing
To just your ears
So people read
This and me
And I stand
Naked here awaiting
The tomatoes and
Soured fruit but
You of all
People must know
That I’ve kept
That small part
Of me tucked
Right here for
You far away
From them and
When this is
Over I will
Hand it to
You and fly
Away it will
Free except for
Us set free
So we met
At long last
Two men together
As friends we
Dined and drank
Laughed and listened
Talked and wished
But all we
Were were children
Playing at beach
Trucks and bulldozers
Laying a foundation
That not even
The days tides
Could wash away
That is us
Children around each
Other simply dreaming
And in the
End comes a
Beginning like
The leaves of
Fall blankets the
Buds of spring
So goes love
When one ends
It gives way
To the beginning
Hold not onto
Your heart ache
For it is
Just the thing
Needed for the
New blossoms of
Love to bloom
