Comfortable in my Skin & Out of my Mind


Maybe the earth is just an experiment.
Maybe the new sun
the scientist discovered today will be
the next experimental station. Maybe
everything we have done here
has a purpose, maybe
it won't be repeated
in that new universe. Maybe
joy has the only resonance. Maybe the
fact that pain, anger and
despair are so prevalent here is to push us
out of this world into the next and urge us on to the new sun.
Maybe the body grows old but the mind still dances.
Maybe the family is torn apart
but we can still use the phone to call a truce.
Maybe everything doesn't matter so much to me 
because I have someone, a certain one who does.
Sometimes or maybe even many times loving even one person 
is enough of a reason to be here,
right here with these problems
and these limitations, 
because loving even one person is enough.
