Lucky

We're so lucky...
In the whole wide world
   of livin' breathin' you's and I's
   but separately apart, we found
Each other...lucky...

And both at once at one time
Simultaneous you might
   but fortunately didn't say
   looked saw understood the way it was
With one another...lucky!

But tie-ups 
Some green slime 
   of disillusions past and 
   present spouse spouses nice
Offspring miscellaneous and respective.

We looked saw touched
What the hell who owns us
   ?inconsequential fights
   ?sex in a bed
Insomniatic 'nother cup if coffee?

We look talk know each other
Livin' breathin' you and I
   but separately apart
   untarnished illusion shiny bright...
Why, I can hardly stand to be so lucky!
