to me,
you're strange & you're beautiful
you may be right,
i may be crazy,
but it just may be a lunatic you're looking for.
turn out the lights,
don't try to save me.
you may be wrong,
but i know you may be right.
coming out of my cage
& i've been doing just fine.
gotta gotta be down,
because i want it all.
the way you want me more than i want you.
said i liked your shoes.
you said "thanks,
can i follow you?"
i want a lover i don't have to love,
i want a boy whose so drunk he doesn't talk.
when i grow up i want to be nothing at all.
for a second there i thought you disappeared,
it rains so much this time of year.
but we both go together if one falls down,
i talk out loud like you're still around.
i felt you in my legs before i ever met you,
& when i laid beside you for the first time i told you,
"i feel you in my heart,
& i don't even know you."

but what if this should become more & more incredible,
if nothing should prove to be divine anymore unless it were error, blindness, the lie-
if god himself should prove to be our most enduring lie?
-nietzsche
we don't have such a clear moment or an obvious ritual in our society that says to my son,
"you are a man."
where is the passage today?
i don't have the answer.
i figure you must leave it up to the boy to know when he has got his power.
a baby bird knows when he can fly.
we have a couple of bird's nests right near where we have breakfast in the morning,
and we have seen several little families launched.
these little things don't make a mistake.
they stay on the branch till they know how to fly,
and then they fly.
i think somehow, inside, a person knows this.
-nietzsche
sometimes, loyalty gets in the way of what you want to do.
sometimes, it's not your secret to tell.
i can sit wondering what in the world you think about,
i don't think i'm ever gonna figure it out.
after all the alcohol,
the pretty words that devolve down
into slurs & drunken shouts.
i don't think i'm ever gonna figure it out.
tonight will be the night that i will fall for you
over again.
you wonder where you're going next,
you got your head pushed to my chest
& now you're hoping that someone let's you in,
well i swear i'll let you in.
you know i'll let you in.
