my friend's poem

california girl

Standing in Space



Hello, I see we've met, before,

obviously affected each others core

of being

I'm seeing you now in someone else's guise,

You're someone else, but you've still got your eyes



Maybe the roles were reversed

Maybe we rehearsed

As each other, last time around

'cause it seems like we're so well versed,

I know your pitch and you know my sound



It's like this: nine holed leaking frame

Creates and contains

This certain resonance

And we're carried on this plane,

To find each other and experience

What happens when we bIend

What notes we hold, what notes we bend

And no one's ever to blame,

'cause the distance is intrinsic to the sound we send



And there's something

all encompassing

that we all come from

and although we split for lifetimes

in between we're one

sound

And here once again on this same sweet ground

I've found

we've met

and yet ………… we never really were separate

were we friend?

Never separate

Next Time



Don't want to do this the next time around

Want to get it all straight and nailed down

Just say "You're a jerk" and I'll agree,

And the next time around will be better you'll see



You can't just sweep it all under the rug

Because there's no carpet big enough

and I can't just shrug it off, like an oyster from the shell

just say "oh shucks", just say "oh well"



History not learned is bound to repeat,

You think you're on a different road, but it's the same street

You've been on, who knows how many times?

I've pushed your buttons and you've rung my chimes



Next time: We won't be so strange

Next time: We'll both act our age

Next time: We'll know all the ropes

Next time: I have such high hopes

These are interesting, because it seems like they can be about individuals trying something again, or about souls (in general) living a series of lives.
