I looked for it today,
the right side of my brain

checked all the old addresses,
wiped dust off degrees
where dated signatures
swore to its existence

‘True’, I spoke, as if in apology
‘I didn’t hear you leave’

hoping a feign of regret,
a tear in my so lonely eye
would cover
the disinterest I felt
quickly today

while looking for
the right side of my brain

'True', I spoke, as if in apology
'I didn't hear you leave'

================================

Oh...you found it....trust me...you found it!
( oh and Dunc? you know what they say bout talking to yourself)

Where the touch of lovers end and the soul of friends begin,
there's a need to be separate and a need to be one ...
it's struggle neither wins.

Deal...how 'bout I write it?  (Can I quote the cheer?)
I figure that story is already getting stranger by the moment, why not go for it??

'but then..you know I'd write it..'

I'd say race ya but we both know who would win!  So I'll check in on Jackson, see if he feel like takin' a ride...
