Do You Know

I wonder if I really know
how your brain works these days
jumping from one equation to the next

do you know how much you love me?
more than the a squirrel loves the ground
to catch its fall

so I've heard

do you know what I mean to you...  breathing
existance as if it were water
coughing the spittle that once absorbed into me

a day is planned where us becomes you and me
somewhere on this side of the dirt
between my shoe and a rock

someday your fingernail will know more about me than I'd care to know, and my eyelash will understand your inner-arms better than the towels used to dry them

now, I prefer to dream this live, knowing that...
more than life you I love.

Do I know the difference between me and you and myself?

It seems somewhere along the way, you've become mine, I've become backwards,  and we've become, well, us.
