In The Rain I am feeling up today
a tricky shade of red-hot cynicism...
I am an abstract interpretation
of all the fears you hold for me
and all the emotions you harbor,
but deny thoroughly
whenever suspicion of ownership arises.

I am the one who started all of this-
no games,
no hypothesizing...
just a simple denial-

I would claim that I am free of you...
And I will absolve myself of these accusations
if you will not judge me for yourself.

I am more in control of this fate than you may ever need to know.

The rotting plasterboard in the alley
has become more and more a part of the earth
- hard packed from traffic and rain...
Every time I walk from these doors,

I think of you

- and of everything
we will never begin to comprehend about each other...
And I am content to know you as you are-
fantasy and flaw molding together
into something I can more easily swallow.

This gray sky is the same one that we've been standing under forever...

And despite popular belief-
this isn't so controversial as we would have each other believe.
This place will keep going-
and we may become directionless,
or find different paths.

The next time I walk out of here may be the last time...
Would it matter in the end?
To have known is enough for me,
but would you be content?
knowing that even memories fade
when they are used as often as I would stop to think of you...
