Those with certainty insist no certainty exists

“As provisionally 'You' mercifully withdrew

all the bearing points we thought we knew
Day's run, days set plot
our compass shot
we sailed waywardly on
singing out midnight archer songs
until well past dawn
it's still dark in the deck of our boat
haphazardly blown broken bows
our aimless arrow-words
don't mean a thing
so by now I think
it's pretty obvious that there's no God
and there's definitely a God!

I dreamt of the rocks at the Asbury dunes,
and that you jumped from the top
of the Log Flume,
and they gather like wolves
on the boardwalk below
and they're howling for answers
no wolf can know
I charged at the waves
With a glass in my hand
I was tossed like a ball
at the bottle stand
and I landed beside your
remains on the stones
where you cold fingers
wrapped around my ankle bone
while maybe ten feet away was a star
thousands of times the size of our sun
exploding like the tiny balloons
you'd throw darts at”

A decade plus long flirtation

 A permanent tryst that stays on my lips, may never leave, I guess that’s permanence

I’ve been so many different versions of my self how do they all love and hate you so much, never more or less

I want to kill you, I want to call you, I want to never speak to you again so I play a song that kind of makes it feel like we’re together again

I know how much you like to be perceived and I want to do that for you and shower you in compliments and feel so soused in the idea of you and how your eyes move and how your laugh sounds, when you’re laughing at me

We’ve been so many people, and so many more to go

will one of one of us be able to finally bury it I don’t think so
