displaced

Such time, too much time
has gone by, things I've lost
out there in the great beyond
before I decided to abscond,
that silence came at quite a cost.

I wonder when the crazy man
will finally be right;
such disappointment when
the world didn't really end.
That was my longest night.

So I keep polishing my guitar
and just hope that one day soon
I'll play half as good as J.T.
and perhaps...I'll remain free
long enough to ride the moon.

All I need is a half step up.

Ah, if you can pick you can lose yourself in the frets, plus you have poetry to play with, so you have the world by the . . . er . . .  twins.

Besides, with one step already stepped, just a slight nudge will propel you up there. I've heard trashy people have already begun moving in, so . . .

The magical sounds of your guitar will accompany you on your way to conquering the moon, dear Dixie.

Profound and beautifully written.

Love,
Margherita
