"FOR MY WORDS" - BY ME.

I am a dream once had by some stoned kid in the 70’s
Some renegade of love, whom I owe my life... or at least a call on Christmas
I am a radio station in summer back in the 80’s...
There is a little girl dancing to it, thinking she will be queen of the world
I am a dust cloud following the wheels of a truck in the 90’s
Some future graduate (time will tell, exactly when graduation is) eyes wide, dick hard
I am a political mess and confused nation of the new millennium
A prayer to god, that soon this all will be over... a prayer moving around like a leaf.

I am us on the floor of your apartment back home
Sharing our hope and our dreams and our plans and our fears and our gods
I am a cross-country road trip full of more hope than it should have
An argument in Oklahoma, over the actual loss of lives of little babies (how dare we)
I am an after hour party in florida, still happening
Too many drugs, and too many boys, and we were just learning how to take care of ourselves
I am a new apartment, without electricity, by candle light waiting...
Ready for whatever comes next, and longing too much to talk to too many people, left behind.

I am love, because I am loved.
And I am truth, because I own one.
I am hope, because I was once anger
And I am song, because I will be sung.
I am you, over coffee thinking about me someday.
I am the thank you, that I give you, because it’s time to move on.

I am the last time we fucked, and the sense that it would be
And the secret desire to sometimes do it again.
I am the sunset that I watched, the night I made my choice.
I am my new lover’s hope in myself.

I’m the dream still, and as stoned as ever
And my heart is swelling to allow for such a beautiful pain
I am the stars, a lover once told me the names of long ago
I am hopeful, and happy, and too alive for once, for my words.
