Bird As Fish

I wrote this on May 07, 2003:

This wall, I think is really beautiful
A work of art and super strong
Invincible like Superman
Wonderful and gorgeous
Titanium is really something to behold
You should see it from this side, the way it sparkles at about 10 o'clock in the morning when the sun hits it.
But wait, I like you better on that side.
Talking to the mural who looks like me.
Isn't it great? I think it is.

Oh, but don't you see,
We're not big into doors here
Not very handy
And quite against protocol.

Yeah, sure, we all get lonely
But what's to be said for ----------.
You put it there.

But I long for you, I long for you.
Yesterday, I climbed the wall to see
How you were getting on.
Binoculars.
But then before I used them I
Put them away and climbed back down.
That would be breaking protocol
And without our protocol,
Where would we be?
