Are We Just Lost?

are you my Gozer (if Gozer is the very essence)

is Gozer a metaphor for evil?

am I your Grover (and Grover the very presence)

is Grover a metaphor for good?

are we Goonies (looking for 'treasure')

or are we just

lost

you could be Gozer (the essence)

I could be Grover (the presence)

we could be Goonies (the treasure)

or we could just

live

crossed beams

crossed purposes

cross fade

fade away

enter stage left

exit stage right

is life a play

or a play on life

if I am Gozer (the presence and essence)

you are Grover (the essence or presence?)

who are Goonies? (life the treasure?)

I prefer we live
