So I told you when I thought you were alone

How I loved you in this impossible beat poem

Of course I wrote it (most of it) especially for you

Of course I'll read it but there've been others in my shoes



So I walked egyptian canyons on my own

Strings of consciousness forget this sombre tone

And I'm in trouble having missed another find

And every ruin has a different song inside



Making wishes on a vessel lost in time

Or maybe anchored in my catalina sky

Casting overboard a useless poet's whine

I'm just a denizen of rhythmword and rhyme



So I wandered in the canyon all alone

Why I loved you in this impossible beat poem

Of course I wrote most of it especially for you

Of course I ruined it cause there've been others in my shoes
