be near,
be here,
the words
far away
from here,
there,
somewhere
where time is not experienced
here,
sometime later we'll be there,
where?
there,
where bridges fall,
where seas dry up,
where mountains erupt.

am I alone,
you bet,
I am
what are the chances we'll meet?
you?
as much chance as you and I had when our parents gave birth to us.

so what's the fuss?
what's the hurry?
Haven't words delayed us long enough?
take it slow, take it easy,
haven't words obliterated us enough?
I'm glad I'm born to die.
after every waking dream.
