Doing my best to be at my best but actually just blasting music and having cocktails→[More:] trying not to post the soundtrack of my present or splice wires to mike up in the near future
doing something with the time i would be taking up waiting
wondering on a past that's far past debating
its odd occurence in conversation
moved beyond a point of exploration
maybe is maybe a piece there to ponder
but otherwise let us find room to wander

what follows is your choice to choose
how often that happens in yours, win or lose

I sit here and wait
for my girl, so we can go skate

I'm on the job, but I'm not really working
My duty's done, so neither am I shirking

the truth
the truth
the cold hard pointy truth

I'm getting paid to read about Joe Strummer
I'm air conditioned; outside, it is summer

that's the truth
the truth
and nothing but the truth

make me an offer
and i might take it up
bitter is the overflow
from an unwanted cup
i'll give you the chords and a rhythm
but the song won't sound the same
the melody jumps unknowably
but never comes to name

make a space to inhabit
let us come both cat and rabbit
keep abrupt reactions at bay
and maybe some of us will stay

all i want is a place of peace
where shortcomings stay at bay or cease
and don't take away from the little there is
be it illusion or grace's quick kiss

"Sexual intercourse began
In nineteen sixty-three
(which was rather late for me) -
Between the end of the Chatterley ban
And the Beatles' first LP."
