Missing You

The low hum
of an occupied space
The distant sounds of traffic
Like waves greeting the shore
The best sunset here is still Gates Pass
Has been for at least 50 years
Saw Kohoutek there
late in in 1973
And now I'm missing you
And the time we spent together
I can't see how things might go
before they get much better
Maybe I'll see you soon
If only in my dreams
Maybe we'll talk and laugh
But it won't be as it seems, still just a dream
I'd be glad to see you
And greet you with an open smile
I'm guessing that makes one of us
But I'll keep hoping for awhile
And now I'm missing you
And the time we spent together
I can't see how things might go
before they get much better
We could meet there again
Maybe as old friends
Maybe just a stranger you once knew
And we could remember the good times we had
There weren't many bad times yet
We were still so young...

Waiting

The fire is glowing, we're all growing
Older and apart every day --- but no wiser
Maybe there's a question you'd like to have answered
Maybe there's an answer I'd like to say
Always shifting, ever changing
Waiting for the wind to blow our way
Awkward, stilted moments with few words exchanged
Only what required for basic civility
Maybe there's a question you'd like to have answered
Maybe there's an answer I'd like to say
Always shifting, ever changing
Waiting for the wind to blow our way
Sometimes having
what I need and want
Both at the same time
Would be nice, but it feels greedy

Loud Silence

All things considered,
doing ok is ok by me
Good enough
is good enough for me
We're human
Humans make mistakes
Often paid in grief...
Dangers facing us
No one can quite pronounce
Silence is an overwhelming weight
The silence is so loud
And even when we win
The memory of a close call
Casts a shadow
on every choice we make
Dangers facing us
That no one can quite pronounce
Silence is an overwhelming weight
The silence is so loud
Dangers facing us
That no one can quite pronounce
Silence is an overwhelming weight
The silence is so loud

So Sad

Maybe it's the autism
From my vaccinations talking
Been lying to myself so long
Now I've started believing
These are things
I don't want to have to know
I don't want to have to go
And I don't want have to see myself
So so sad
I overheard some conversation on the street
People once again, talking about nuclear war
They said my body will melt
before I understand what's happened --- I won't feel a thing
I've been vaporized
It happened so fast
I stopped being biology
Now I'm just physics
all I wanted was to be geography
These are things
I don't want to have to know
I don't want to have to go
And I don't want to have to see myself
So so sad
Visited my mental cemetery
Where my mistakes and failures now reside
I leave no flowers there
No one tends those graves
These are things
I don't want to have to know
I don't want to have to go
And I don't want have to see myself
So so sad
