Youme & Meyou

They build a ship each wintertime
for launch to sea before the storm
 
They don't just go from A to B
they go around and come around again
 
'cause out there's always a construction site
a Starbucks and
yet another Gugenheim
 
Youme knows what Meyou wants
Meyou knows what Youme wants
and it's granted
 
No more tassels on the hotel key
a phone line, a laptop
and a box of tangerines
 
They turn houses into homes
where earthquakes live with car alarms
mature mild-mannered catastrophes
 
They gift each other a thousand names
and take them off, take them off again
like excessive jewelry
 
Youme knows what Meyou wants
Meyou knows what Youme wants
and it's granted
 
They defend each other against the past
if the future isn't bright at least it's colorful
so burn the ship come spring
 
They fail, fail and try again
fall off a cliff, succeed, and fall, fall again
 
They have proven quite effectively
that bumblebees indeed can fly
against the field's authority
 
They invent each other ever anew
still they won't have a different view
of everyone or anything
 
Defend themselves against the whims of fate
question the statistics, accelerate
the status quo, deny the rules of gravity
 
But they don't use the word
once dropped it might break
 
They do not say that they have loved
for who can say
We were killed yesterday
 
Youme knows what Meyou wants
Meyou knows what Youme wants
and it's granted
