We're All Alone
we spread our seeds
like dandelions
except those seeds
aren't seeds
but words,
words and thought and dreams,
laughs and shouts and glances and
tongue-clicks and winks
and the butterflies
in your stomach
have nowhere else to go
so we take handfuls of ourselves
and cast them
unto the air
and then we cry
when there is nowhere
for them to land
(damn right we should)
