or say you're in a room

and there's a beautiful fire

and you're looking out the window

(at the snow and the winter streets below)

but your eyes keep returning to the fire


this is what I'm thinking

the reason your eyes keep returning to the fire

is because it divides your sight

into left and right

and dark and light and dark

like a fine dividing wire


here's another thing

that I noticed last night

whe he kissed me over there

he usually kissed me over here, too


I must have known it in my heart

and with my inner sense of art

because when I kiss him over there

I never kiss him over here


it's the way of the world

people do it everywhere

if you're going to do it over here

then usually they do it over there too


symmetry is the way things have to be

symmetry is the way things have to be


or say you're at a table

and you have your forks and knives

do you move them around

'til you get them just right?

(this is while you're talking to someone)


or you work in a nightclub

and you notice that

even though you try to seat everyone on one side of the room

they always spread themselves out evenly from this side to that

like atoms in a model


it's the way of the world...


or say you're in an air show

and you're flying with two other pilots

and you want to do it right

because you like to do it right


and one guy is flying

at the tip of your left wing

and the other guy's off

doing his own thing

would it bother you?

it bothers me


it's the way of the world
