we will meet again
yesterday i already was who i will be tomorrow.
i see you, i need you... [i am you?] nobodies' eyes can see themselves, but does a mirror see its own reflection? or is it as short-sighted, blind as we are?
as we speak to [two] truths and a lay- lying to each other while we're still in bed together- this is when you say it. i'm not saying more, nor looking for more than your finest performance. and if we don't need transparency to see through history, watch the streets- digital and analog or strung out on theories of eating meatballs in a blackhole. kids dodging scholarships to pay a debt that was never theirs long before they ever knew it existed
i'm behind you, because yesterday i already was who i would be tomorrow.
and if it's doubtful we will meet again, then here's to lifetimes of forever and just as many of never, again.

trust
is the truth a wand or is it a wound? or will it wind you up into a bitter end, crippling all caught in its path under an immense pressure that is little more than a communally sealed fate? i could never know. though not for lack of effort or intent; whereas even the weather is a daunting conversation for us. because trust is not just given freely- not anymore, not ever, and incompletely as much as it ever was; and i know i can't have what i don't give freely. this is no life hack so much as it is just an epic life fail to maintain control because that means giving up what's kept you safe, hidden behind your teeth. it's only trust; but even a taste is worth your weight in wool.

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.
