Maybe we're from the same scar.
Maybe the same galactic gutter.
Maybe the same pulpy punch.
Maybe you were my sister
or you were my brother.
Maybe there is a place
where we used to go
to plant our feet
in what we didn't know.
Maybe there is a place
where the whistle grows,
the voices chatter,
the stillness slows.
And maybe, somewhere
or the whistle grows,
the voices chatter,
the stillness shows.
And maybe, somewhere,
or this place, you said to me,
"I hope you remember
that this is a false memory."
