And so it goes the hours the days the years
the rise and fall of tides chasing the moon
dogs howling in the backyards while lovers
toss and turn having burnt the night away
Patsy says that had she never met me
she’d have had to invent mon semblable
my look-alike my be-alike
and I’m flattered
When I see my reflection in her eyes
—and I know the mirror never lies— I
see love How wonderful to be such a
special person in someone’s life Blood is
thicker than water but love wins heads down
I say the cow with the crumpled horn can
take a hike
I’m not going anywhere
