rodent to rodent
father to son
through distance and time

what brings us all together
though we wander separate paths
like newton's second law
drawn in by the mass
i know i know
sometimes science can't explain
complicated relationships
of humans and the long ellipse
that leads us to back to where we
started from

what makes us similar
what marks our differences
it's somewhere deep inside us
but we don't know where it is
i know
i know
nurture plays a part
but the recipe is complicated
a twisting turning never straight
ed path that leads us back to where
we started from









set right down and i'll tell you a tale
of funny ol' life on the grandest scale
two grown men a father and son
living mere miles apart and yet neither one
knew the other until one day
they found each other and started to play
