come, sit on this bench
watch kaleidoscopic trees
run through all the greens

a fledgling tawny owl
to whit, one learning to fly
landed here and sat still
we watched and waited
for it to fly
it watched
and waited
for us to go too

delighted to see you back
over our rooftops

everything doubles when shared

it's nearly midnight
there is too much of it now

Trust me, this isn’t my doing
You can choose any friend
But family? That’s the bitter end
ii)
I could be anything you want
Say the word, we’ll elope
Run from convention’s rope
iii)
I come to you cap in hand
profess my love for you on bended knee
don’t worry about disputative families
iv)
Yes, he’s my father
I, his loving son
But he couldn’t stop us with a loaded gun
v)
Here I am in plain sight
I fear nothing, have nothing to hide
Take my hand, let's live
