Cement Sprayed Canines

the windows are sealed shut, but a stream of recycled air blows from an overhead compartment, strands of my tresses caress my brow. To my right, an old friend from as far back as elementary school plucks at the thread of a ukulele, while the man who was escorted to the terminal by a deputy sheriff stars out through the double-paned glass at his freedom. A young girl three rows back has sprawled out over the space of two seats, stretching her legs to their fullest length, holding a phone to her ear, and based on her attire, I expected a conversation concerning academia, not how her roommates refusals to recycle plastic frustrates her, like, so much. A pair of Asian tourists head the vehicle, and exit the coach at each stop to capture a photograph of the scenery. The woman lays with her head on his shoulder, and a professional sized camera on her lap sleeps peacefully. And I think now, I will just go and take a short nap until Oakland.

while one of my best friend's at home has just discovered negativity, the other feels rather alone. and this song pertains to both of them and i listen to it quite often when i am feeling alone. so here you go... enjoy...

3 months~3 years

Baby, remember on the bus

and my hand was on your knee?

(my other holds your heart)

When you love somebody,

it's hard to think about anything

but to breathe,

the only thought tenderizing

itself into my brain becoming

the phobia of when and how far

further the next moment awaits,

when will I be allowed to be in your

presence, how many days will be allotted

by that asshole referred to as "life",

the seconds we span together are always the sweetest

and my sweet tooth is a fair sized sugar addict.

But love is not convenient and does not cease

at your command, no matter if love is all I am,

even though i carry your heart with me

(i carry it in my heart) i am never without it (anywhere

i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done

by only me is your doing, my darling)

i fear no fate

(for you are my fate, my sweet)

and fate has left me

to leave you once again

alone, watching the chariot fade into the fields,

you gave me hope of a safe and easy journey,

you suggest I strike up a conversation with the girl

who stood behind

us at the vending machine;

you thought she seemed "cool"

but I just want back in your head

and back under the red blanket

we share while sleeping on your sofa

and I believe there to be three of your friends

that have been in the room the countless times we've kayaked,

when we first cut the tension,

Rusty snored and mumbled those sleep thoughts

that do not make sense outside their dreamworld,

when you're living in a dreamworld,

you can remember when you and I were less

than us and we, covered up what little was left

of me, and became one in the same

(I can't breathe alone).

So give me something believe,

cause I am living just to breathe

and when I look to the shape of the sky

I give thanks for this hollow chest of mine,

that I no longer feel the great weight of ordeal

that can make this life so unkind

because I've made progress

I've taken the chance to make

every moment of time an answer to find

what we're here for,

what we breathe for,

what we wake for,

what we bleed for,

what we hope for,

what we live for;

you're every instrument that writes the notes to my song,

I am the dawn and you are the sun I need in the morning.

So, cast the rockets off, baby;

we are the astronauts,

and we don't ever need to start another Thursday alone again.

Mr. Sky breathes love when we look to him

for answers and we don't need shadows

to serve as company or our only friend

that's on our side. Time is all we have.

Love and time.

How soon is now? When exactly will that be?

I'm glad that there is hope for us,

that we have just enough

(it comes as no surprise),

when you take on me,

take me on,

because I will inevitably be gone

in a day or two,

and, I should've known with a boy like you,

your middle name is always;

I'll always love you-

always and forever,

each moment with you is just

like a dream to me that somehow came

true; have I told you lately that I love you?

Have I told you there's no one else above you?

You fill my heart with gladness,

take away all my sadness,

ease my troubles-that's what you do.

And if you've got worries then you're like me-

don't worry now; I won't hurt or desert you

because I hear the explanation point.

I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you,

I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you

no, I wanna fall in love with you,

so we'll keep breathing to believe

and believe to breathe

push back the tears ever so near,

smile through our fear and sorry,

smile and maybe tomorrow we'll see

the sun come shining through,

we'll find that life with each other is so worthwhile

if we just smile-

that's the time that we must keep on trying,

we'll smile and wonder, "What's the use in crying?",

just fly to the moon and play among the stars,

see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars,

and get back in time for opening day,

batting a thousand for a home run crack at love,

I promise you I'm doing the best I can.

Now, some days, they last longer than others,

but this day by the bay went too fast,

and if you want to settle down and plant roses at my feet,

go ahead-I wish you would

make my dreams come true,

fairy tales can come true,

it can happen to you,

if you're young at heart (they tell me),

cause this is how we chill from '93 til....

to be continued

no "the End"

because once upon a tree

I came upon a time

and up there, that's their time,

but down here,

DOWN HERE!

this is our time,

OUR TIME!

and GOONIES NEVER SAY DIE!
