"the only reason they could ever dry up,"
joni tells me
after time traveling
on the good ship meme
to bring her words forward
with or without her
immortality of ideas
but immortals morph
change or cease
the law of life
when i tell feelings
met with defenses
better to be silent
let people assume
since they already
see only ass
"is if they are afraid to state how they're feeling."

it's not fear, joni
it's survival, joni
it's a lottery.
