If I were u and u were me...8/23/04


If I were you and you were me;
would my mind lust and fumble
over the opposite sex or
would my eyes bleed from aromas
of burning trees?

If I were you and you were me;
could my dreams cause my sheets
to drip, would I be scared to sleep
cause of what my subconscious thinks?

If I were you and you were me;
would these letters from my pen
that combine into phrases be legible or
would they be un-understandable?

If you were me and I were you;
could I still dunk a ball at ten feet
or would my balling days just be a long
lost memory in purple dazes inside cloudy
hazes?

If I were you and you were me;
would I cry myself to sleep because my
life wasn't what I expected it to be or
would the tears from my eyes wash away
the pain and guide me to the Promise Land?

If you were me and I were you;
could you explain the things I've done,
the roads I've traveled, and the choices
I've made?

If I were you and you were me;
would you realize that grass is never
greener on the other side of the fence?

If you were me and I were you;
could you fathom the magnitude of my attitude,
would you ever have a clue of why I feel
so strongly about my moral and ethical values
and views?

If you were me and I were you;
I'd feed your brain with nutritious thoughts,
consciously exercising your mind, body, and
soul.

If I were you and you were me;
by the time we switched back to ourselves
you'd realize that it's bigger than just
you and I...
