UNEXPECTED FLAVOR
Sometimes I have no idea who you are
And I am ashamed
Even as I know I should not be
Lifetimes go on and on
The brain wrinkles and smooths
Wrinkles and smooths
But there are moments
I remember you from prior lives
That are filled with such
Unexpected flavor
I relearn to chew and savor
And suck and tingle
And roll the eyes back into my head
And die a little
And I am ashamed
Even as I know I should not be
Lifetimes go on and on
The brain wrinkles and smooths
Wrinkles and smooths
But there are moments
I remember you from prior lives
That are filled with such
Unexpected flavor
I relearn to chew and savor
And suck and tingle
And roll the eyes back into my head
And die a little
