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 Ill read it but thereve been others in my shoes



So I walked Egyptian canyons on my own

Strings of consciousness forget this sombre tone

And Im 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 poets whine

Im just a denizen of rhythm, word 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 thereve been others in my shoes
