No matter how much
we try intertwining touch
we are still alone.

We live in our skin,
that keep souls separated,
and minds to themselves.

Always reaching for,
connecting as best we can
with our aloneness.

If by "s" you mean sex, you missed the boat.

Few things
in life
are worse
than being
lonely
when there's
someone else
in the
room

Especially
when that
someone
is
someone
with whom
you're
connected

...but you really didn't need me to say that, did you, my friend?

Happiness is where you find it, not where you don't.

...but then, you really didn't need me to say that either, did you, Miss Lori?  

...just bein' Bluesy
