how dare you
take the a cappella
out of my novella

if I havent even my voice
then what is left to me?
other than organs
that are failing like mathematics
and relationships
that cause scandals
and heartburn

all the sun shining up north
doesn’t filter very far
down the map
I can say that much
without looking outside
and photos on the nightstand
are no substitute
for your fitted curves
here in the hollow places

there is a sizzling upstairs
dinner is burning
a record is spinning pinwheels
next to the lizard
the turbo fan whines
about some oil
it was promised
raspberries and cranberries
are down with the russian
but none of these things
mean much
without you here
to bring them to life

Casey
or
Bust!!

This:

"there is a sizzling upstairs
dinner is burning
a record is spinning pinwheels
next to the lizard
the turbo fan whines
about some oil"

shaking my head here....YEAH, I wanna write like THAT.
