MY BEST STRANGER

Hey man
It don’t look like
you and me
are travelling on the same train
For ten years now
time and again
I’ve seen you
never stopping to say hello

We walk the same streets
drifting
marching on
like a one-man army
Together but alone
neither one of us
belongs to anyone else

Hey man
It don’t look like
you know the places which are part of my life
For ten years now
time and again
I’ve seen you slide past

We meet
but don’t
in front of a gamblers paradise
or hell
downtown
together but alone
we both somehow belong here

Hey
my best stranger
I’m just no good
at talking to guys
Who wants to be taken for gay
when they are not?

Men meet at the bowling alley
wage war
or carry removal boxes
for a mutual friend
who turns out
to be the next sweetheart
and the next mistake

I don’t know
how I should strike up
a conversation with you
with a man I know as
my best stranger
with a man I know as
my best stranger

But whose eyes tell me you could be my friend
