You must be misstaken
ReplyDeleteFor here is undertaken
To drink deeper than is tasted
If I cannot see,
Then you must
SHOW me.
And if no one else can see,
Then again,
you must
Show ME.
Land of Misst'ry,
Harbor from every
Urban-bred Missery.

Of heart-swelling story.

ReplyDeletethere's all this angry, ugly pure stuff in you.
but you give me the party line.
there's all this rich fatty oil in you
but you give me diet rite.
there's all this sweet irreverent hate in you
but you give me the politest
cold shoulder.
there's all this diamond rage in me
but i give you the false respect
of a king i didn't elect.
there's all this lawless beauty in me,
but i give you the false loyalty
of a domesticated slave.
there's all this gentle awe in me,
but i give you my fear poison
in an organic apple.
there's all this innocent romantic in me,
but i'm alone at the arcade.
all this is juvenila
the juvenila of two people
who just started making love
