It's a Libra Dude/Aquarius Chic Thang
fallen trees and power lines
and faulty phone cards
and computer woes
cannot keep two star crossed lovers
from meeting up and giving it all up
to delicious surprisin' star speckled DESTINY
which dishes out favors at random but does not
decide the outcome
we decide the outcome
we take what we were born with
and go to the ballgame
and hope it doesn't get rained out
if his birthday is the day before John Lennon's
and yours is the day before Yoko Ono's
and he has his sun in the house of Pisces
and you have yours in the house of Virgo
and he has his moon in the last
and you have yours in the first
and his Mars chases your Venus
and your Mars chases his
count yourself lucky!
look in the mirror and smile!
go to the store and spend your last fifty bucks
on envelopes and stamps and PEZ dispensers and Brite Crawlers
and the Hallmark cards you always despised
because they seemed so impossibly trite and false
(but now they're filled with words you feel and that's...okay!)
don't play mind games
don't play by the rules
don't pray that he'll call
don't wish on stars or dandelions
don't say I DON'T DESERVE THIS!
and throw your hands up in the air
and tear your hair out strand by strand
just go with it
deal with it
hug yourself
until you
can hug
him
