when night comes
you're letting go of your daytime mind
disruptions discussions
all settling like snowdrift
outside your inner room
feeling right inside yourself
breathing from your beginning
circling into a mandarin sun
vaguely in the shape of a heart
imagining
your mystical twin in his running gear
a mandarin wool sweater
sparkling with joy vitamins
and breathable ultra light pants
dark as midnight
and shoes with ambitious
white velocity stripes
eating the highway
at midnight
your mystical twin six feet tall
white smile on his dark night face
puffing his staccato breath on the earth
blowing it cooler
he's a cool runner
cool as cool can be
running across the globe
riding shortcuts
through the seven seas
cooling the meltdown
back to safety
sprinting or long distance
he can run
destiny down
you're speaking through a thread
in your minds and hearts
your soul night cord without words
he's your soul mate
cool runner
running to cool
but the warm heart beneath his sweater
is a mandarin juicy sun
at midnight
you're leading him
with the back of your daytime mind
down the water highways
he's running in the slipstream
running to cool
your connection
is a spirit cable
at the bottom of the ocean
keeping you together
he's a dream behind your day
your one mind brother
you feel the link subconsciously
submarine
cool runner
running to cool
puffing his balancing breath
across continents
speedy stripes whooshing by
on the waves
you're always keeping track of him
in the back of your daytime mind
but at midnight you're sustaining him
with the mandarin sun sweater
