you were a computer

you were a computer
i was eight fingers two thumbs
together we were mystery
together we were moons
we were alive
and then we were there
it was as if
the parking lot princess
and
the patient prince
were merging
we
were
mer
ging
on the playground
we
were
mo
o
nlit
we
were
lanterns
in the dark,
revolving doors
we were red
we were white
for a moment we were black
your eyes
and your milky way sides
your eyes
and our milky way lights
this is real
this is unreal
don't believe what you can't touch
don't believe what you've ever lost
keep at least
two years
and
eleven thousand miles
between
you
and the nearest black star
i was a computer
eight fingers two thumbs
one stupid and one dumb
