here we are
here we are
doing what we always do
near and far
near and far
beneath the blinding light of de ja vu
unicorns
chase stars and form
a barrier between 
thoughts unspoken
and thoughts expressed
exposed undressed
the difference 'tween
what's whole and what is broken

mangy cat
mangy cat
may let you pet her soft
maybe not
but maybe not
it may only piss her off
on the street
but enough to eat
alone in her home
no one to rely on
stranger's hand
a dangerous plan
never knowing what's ahead
with enough to get by on

and unicorns
are being born
where matter is engery
and energy matter
in black holes
the unicorn foals
climb an ever growing golden ladder

hovering
hovering
like a space ship above a car
so we sing
so we sing
an alien song from our hearts

singing of cicadas
is just about the greatest
sound i've ever heard
like peeping frogs in summer
and the soft low hum
of a fan on medium
and the click click click click click
of the sticky clicky drummer
