Your Eyes Or Mine

Your Eyes Or Mine

A Story by Mike Goodwin
"

Baby, it's a new age. You're like my new craze. Lets get together maybe we can start a new phase. This smoke's got the club all hazy, spotlights don't do ya justice baby. Why don't you come over here?

"
"There's some people in this world or mine, yes, that cannot be controlled by any borderline."
- Dan Kelly, Fortunate Youth, Ride
There are some things that are just genius. Feel me?
That line is like a world. Feel me?
Like there's some people in this world. 
Yeah. Cool.
Here, saying -or mine
In a simply auditory sense, it works so well. 
But, those two words add so much truth.
Worlds of it. Feel me?
Implying his world is different.
Oh yeah, he's thought of that.
But he doesn't know.
The people he sees,
Are seen through his lens. Feel me?
And there's a lot of them. 
And it's so darn good. Feel me?
If that wasn't enough he goes on to say:
"We gonna ride, over this ocean. We gonna ride, over this sea. We gonna ride, over this nation of poverty."
And I'm like yes. 
That's exactly what has to be done. There is absolutely no other alternative.
We're at a bit of a lovingly one-sided ultimatum here.
And its just so much fun,
Fun with faith. Feel me?
There are so many great trips...
I m-mean quotes.
Ant farms of quotes.
Housing avenues from my mind.
Encasing others trail's 
If they. Feel me?
I could do some good ones.
Not in songs and mess.
But this music kind of pushed me. Feel me?
Slightly.
Like really good ones.
"Why do you want the world to drown along with you?"
-Jacob Hemphill, Stars and Stripes
"Now when you're young, and free like a bird. I'd like to say welcome to this world."
-Kristofer Borlin, Skaburbian Collective, Welcome
Simple.
No.
But, yes.
Powerful paradoxes, think about those. 
You won't go back.
"I'm a monster, I'm a maven, I know this world is changing. Never gave in, never gave up, I'm the only thing I'm afraid of. No matter what, you'll never take that from me. My reign is as far as your eyes can see."
-Kanye West, Amazing
This one is so amazingly true.
Monster? Obvious.
Maven? In my mind, I will really never know in this life.
I know this world is changing. Obvious, but strong. Feel me? I wonder if those two always correlate. Tough one.
I'm the only thing, I'm afraid of. Came to a naive realization that this is universal truth. Feel me?
Could be. 
So real sir.
No matter what, you'll never take that from me. 
One word. 
Identity.
Now here's the real genius part. 
My reign is as far as Your eyes can See.
Incredible. Feel me?
Because we can only display what others see. 
We are what we are.
But in existence, you know like things of power in the world. 
Goes along with human collaboration. Feel me?
Living for others as well as yourself. 
One's reign is only truly valid if seen by others. Feel me?
Like it still has an identity (another point he touched on),
But by his convictions, it's so damn true. 
I love it.
Only as far as your eyes can see. 
That your is so perfect. 
Broadens it so much.
Kind of like that "Or mine"
Some things are blessed like that.
Paths to understanding.
So much fun.
I guess part of the reason is the fact that they can come from anything.
So unexpected at times.
So indescribable at times. Feel me?
"That feeling that you get when you get in a taxi, and you're a little drunk, and for a few seconds you forget where you are going. That's poetry." 
I didn't make that up, my teacher did.
I don't know if I made anything up. 
I probably did.
But I don't really care, its just like there. Feel me?
Out there.
