Useless

So i told you when i thought you were alone
How i loved you in this impossible beat poem
Of course i wrote it (most of it) especially for you
Of course i'll read it but there've been others in my shoes

So i walked egyptian canyons on my own
Strings of consciousness forget this sombre tone
And i'm in trouble having missed another find
And every ruin has a different song inside

Making wishes on a vessel lost in time
Or maybe anchored in my catalina sky
Casting overboard a useless poet's whine
I'm just a denizen of rhythm, word and rhyme

So i wandered in the canyon all alone
Why i loved you in this impossible beat poem
Of course i wrote most of it especially for you
Of course i ruined it cause there've been others in my shoes
