Another Song from Songbook by Damon Bostrom

You can not find me
Looking back behind me
With that most blinding stare-
Placed on a pedestal
Honored and vestigial-
You just can’t find me there.

Should you abhore me?
Think you might adore me?
Father Pygmalion, please say,
Famous or infamous,
Built like a platypus;
How do I look to you today?

If we might step aside,
Look at how much we’ve lied
Let’s peek behind the veil-
Behold Thee! Anima!
I’ll be Thy camera,
I’ll catch Thy bright detail.

Clothed in our prejudice,
Our habitual edifice,
We reenact our fine play,
Fighting for anomie
Lover and /or enemy,
What is the theme for today?

Sleeping and waking,
Thirsty and slaking,
Road rising, while we run;
Facing each other,
I’ve got your cover,
One life plus one is one.
