1976-11-08 – We

The crazy eyed people know each other.
beyond words and forms
and titles and times.

And sometimes,
when our conversations precipitate
into that ground state.
where intuition and empathy
fill the holes, our words always leave,
our eyes, weary and wise,
warm to the undercurrents shared again
as we outlined the inexpressible.
giving the conversation substance.

But it doesn't matter
for once the sub-verbal is realized,
the words just become touchstones;
rippling the essence.
of what some people call craziness
from the other side of the mirror.
