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 I'll read it but there've been others in my shoes So I walked egyptian canyons on my own Strings of consciousness forget this sombre tone And I'm 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 poet's whine I'm 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 there've been others in my shoes
