don’t know how you keep your cool—seems like you’ve thought about this; but, when you do, in my experience, you get nervous. we’re going, hot mama, to bring this country down (as if you need my help) and, when we do, i’ll be sure to vote, naturally, for you.
Silly, so silly, this is all about me; i’m just talking to myself, in a foreign country. Daddy thinks i’ll get arrested—or sued for all I’m worth; so i use code names to keep this about the planet earth.
wasting away at the corners, hemmed up
running out of money, hatred in my cup
thinking devil be darned, don’t want to swear
thinking back on the good times, if you care
so we’re back together darling, and I
made it, so far, over the hump; trust in you
comes naturally—you’re not pie in sky,
not actually, when the world catches up
but don’t think i’m here to drag you down
because, love, I’d never do such a thing;
hate to be called that, unless you go to town
what is that my darling, out of your mouth?
treat this woman like she’s the president,
but i need it just like everyone else,
apply my toenail fungus nail treatment,
as if that would make you take me back
but we are together anyhow—at least
in one domain; the part of you i see
goes into the woman Jesus made for me.
i’m not a creep in the long run—i’m not a creep at all; if you got to know me, give it a minute, and then you’ll see it all. Pull the wool from your eyes, look deep into my soul, this is the downfall of the woman that I hold
Fold them—and i did, but your voice kept coming back; symptom of schizophrenia? Or a counterattack? I think you love me dearly, give or take a mile—so i cannot keep you, that was never in the cards; go to your destiny; a little late to the party, but a little worth the wait; just me now wondering, hoping—that you’ll keep your head on straight.
no reason to think that you never would
just watching, wondering, how you will age:
will you join me in the future, on His page?
or will you get swallowed up by the rest
of them? you doing you, making it right?
Make me whole, my darling, but look after
yourself: you know I cannot have you, sight
for sore eyes: never the man to partner
with surprise. Going to eat my words, maybe
black and blue, but loving you for nothing
is something supercilious and carefree,
step from stone to stone, that would be me
you use me to no end; don’t leave me out
of the loop; I need free healthcare, i’m wearing
a suit. trigger happy woman, shot me down
in an instant: tricking me with a ring
so, young buck, you think you can make her calm
the fuck down? i wouldn’t do that to you,
not like it plays out once inside my head.
Going for the gold, happy as a few
