I said I'd write to you in time
You said you'd be fine
I met you in the engineering isle
At the five and dime
You were shopping for a time machine
To go reclaim your submarine
You swore, forsooth, you could not pay
Perhaps a charade
The Mother Bear was glimmering in you eyes
And I couldn't say
By then your kiss had rendered me
Ill-equipped for such sleuthery
So its five for the universe
And four your ankara skirt
And three for the way you said kimchi
And its two, but oh what could I do
Cause one, our love had just begun
And go where I can't follow
So there you left me like a perch
Of disturbed earth
A pyramid of congealed noise
The moon, a virgin birth
Rocks erected in mystery
To track your apogee
I watched that sweet contraption climb
Outside my mind
I don't know why I'm not so much inclined
To say goodbye
