The Unknowns

And there are so many questions left
Unanswered. Perhaps unanswerable or as yet unasked. What more can be undone?
A mind, slowly bursting into infinity. Unfathomable.

You can easily see that we're both birds. With wings and tails and cans of worms that are best left unopened today...

Our feet they will take us in different directions.At times mocking, at other's coaxing us to go and find a path, an unfamiliar path with strangers up mountain roads or cold seas....The feet will always say you are empty, go fill yourself up with someones laughter, or a story that someone sent out with a prayer on the wind's edge....and we shall look at our feet sometimes and be surprised how they seem to have come from somewhere far away....not even our own....These feet will take us elsewhere, where the sounds are different and the silences too....do you think your feet will ever stop, perhaps, many years from now to think about my feet? Will they recall, in some quiet hour the patterns we had made together in sand once?

Or do feet once removed from each other never look back at the roads they walked on?

How much shall we travel today?

on the buses through the airwaves

between hot oil massages and football games

between being late for work

and the embarrassing admissions of last night

Of course it was nothing but the alcohol talking

In the funny way it always has

Quiet now again and fidgety

Lets forget about it and move on

I make a secret mental note of your favorite film

Someday that information will be useful too.

One step closer that's how much.
