it's strange the way brain waves can roll up onto someone else's beaches and still feel at home like the tide-pool-rejects were all they'd ever known like the nervous tics beached on the sand were once their own as if we had shared roots at some point but branched off i see patterns in you which i thought were mine alone geographically isolated, we still situated ourselves into the same niche brought thought processes up from where they were etched into our bones perhaps we're the same species- mine a shade stranger than yours but still with similar history you said i'd been in your head since that night we tried to talk i stumbled over my words and you said you thought better on paper you said i knew your thought process but how you phrased it made it sound like i'd been on your mind well, you've been on mine
