Sometimes I say things with my actions.
Words I didn't know I could pronounce.

If I could read your mind
And you could read my mind
Would we still be two separate people?
If the voices in our head were strangers
with voices in their heads
How long could we argue before we all
turned insane?

Do you believe in the flu? If you do,
pretend that I am the flu and when you think about me
you have been infected and start to vomit.
Yuck.
If I were you I would try to get rid of the flu.
But if I were the flu
Would you still try to get rid of the flu?

You can't kill the flu virus because it's
invisibly small
You can become vaccinated
against the flu
and never get sick
the flu virus will still exist
but you will be strong.

If I am a virus
From which you will vaccinate your children
How long will it take them to realize
That I am still there
Invisibly small
And how long will it take you
to say
wow,
my children were strong enough
to vomit
once in a while
