You and I will meet again
in a place beyond here and now 
we will talk without using stock phrases
and heaping judgment on one another
like we did in the Paramount Theater
but smile and recall earlier days
when waking up in our right minds
brimming with the motivating impulse to grow
and become whole male persons human beings
was joy aplenty, purpose enough 

Upon arrival at that place of self-acceptance
a.k.a
the highest degree to be 
we will look into each other’s eyes
and understand why
