they say it's best to live with no regrets--
i haven't much to give you yet.
just give me time to straighten out
i ****** the turn,
i've much to learn

i'm driving into your sunset--
it's yours because you wear it well
floating intricacies into the Deep
like you tried to teach me
but i couldn't see

i've evolved into the consequent man

you can tell by the way
the orange light
touches my eyes

whether you're coming back or not, old friend
i will make you mine.
