		"draws us together"

can't believe in yesterday
never had the time
thought i had the answers
in my fortune cookie mind
but wrapped away and underneath
nothing was what i'd find
and i take a step over stones
wet, rushing river flowing
i wonder whether if i'll fall
or if i'm already going
down beneath the waves
i used to swim just fine
drinking tea, undaunted
lift up my pen and write
while the world outside revolves
around the turmoil in my mind
if i just tore up the page
would i curl inside and die?
