For Joan

I came to you bare and naked

You clothe me with love so sacred

I bet we’re on God’s favorite TV series

I didn’t know I had arrhythmia

Until I met you. You’re my redeemer

I’m laid-back, and I chase no Maybach

But aurora-dreams for Joanne

In mid-night sun I’ll ask to be your man

Life has been hell but you’ve been my novocaine

When I fall apart you keep me sane

Space or time can’t take you from my astral plane

And when we have a kid I think I will name him Gekyume

Because you were, and are my first love,

Back and forward propagation, I want to be the model you love.

I’m soleless, but on bare feet & soulful, I’ll chase our dreams greater than Gatsby.
