candy skinned
marionette
happy feet
and
skittish smile

i am the metal ball
on the pendulum
i am the rain
during the spring

and god said
that below
something
there is everything
you do not see.

arms wide open like

you are the shadow that
falls behind you and
you are the picture
that you have painted
and you are the product
of the roads you've traveled.

when we jump in the water
it is cold, it is cold,
and when we get out
it is cold, it is cold,
because if i say cold
and you say cold
then it is cold.

oh, the stars are one
way mirrors reflecting us
all in retrospect and
there are eyes looking down
watching your left turn
on stadium drive as you
talk to your mistress on the
telephone before you slam
on the breaks and hit the
little girl selling cookies.

they have no tears,
and they have no predictions
but what they do have
is a bed of roses
for you to lie in
just as grandmother said.

i feel more in touch with
people who our out of touch
than people who are too
busy to touch.
