Faceless,
figureless, fuck
Disillusioned, mass Confucianism is just my luck
Secretive,
seductive, adrenaline rush
Holy shit,
my zipper is stuck
Washed my
hands, grabbed a mint
Talked
existentialism with the Hungarian washroom attendant
Walked
around for an inconspicuous, unobstructed view
Found a
clearing, my heart was bleeding, the chair was leaning
You
listened, you cared
I never
felt scared
I saw your
scars, you saw mine
We
laughed, we cried, we fantasized
You were
my funny valentine
So strip
for me baby
Scratch
off the surface to reveal the depth of your soul
Sit in my
lap, order a shot, blow some smoke
Politely
walk away when the money dries up
Down here
it’s hard to see your face
it’s hard
to see the truth
Down here
it’s hard for me to trace
how it all
came unglued
The artful
dancer smacks her ass
Her
nipples just 2 inches or so from my face
Torn
between sadness and this gnawing feeling
Instead of
making eye contact I stare at the ceiling
I’m
looking through you staring at me
Your
voice, your soft hands
Both
eloquently suggest
Is this
the way it has to be
I’d like
to take you home, get you out of this place
But my
life’s a shambles, I’m the wreck
It’s my
life that needs saving
Is there
anything you can recommend to satisfy this craving?
I want to
draw a sympathetic disfigured portrait of who you are
But your
wisdom shines through, emanates your pores
So, I’m
the one searching for more
More
meaning, More answers, More cancer
The
soundtrack of my life
Hey, I’ve
got the new stereophonic, deluxe four kids, four dogs
and a wife!
If I had
read your lips, taken your advice
I would
have seen it coming, mid-life crisis.
Down here
it’s easy to be amused
forget the
past
draw a
smiley happy face
Down here
it’s easy to be abused
forget the
future
have
regrets
Down here
we are all looking for answers
Looking
for escape
Talking to
you is easier than talking to God
Please get
me out of this place!
