Love is as sick as you are.

Les Paul dreams in milky Sunday blues
Where you fight to watch your breath come alive
In the summer air in your coat in your pants
Ass-pocket spunk with interwoven funk
That wobbles in the music like ball-point pens
In wet cement that sticks to your ears
With time and mind-
Blowing riffs with a straw that you turn to sop
And eat like art letters in tomato soup featuring Aqualung
Who sickens sickens sickens her and her
And her
Poems created from scraps of pain she borrowed
From her mother who gave them to her for free
And you burn burn burn into skies you’ll never see
And again I saw you-
Beating on the window of self-defense
Under your father’s word
Who makes

You sit in your room
And talk to your guitar

Love is as sick as you are.
Love is as sick as you are.

"The story of life is quicker than the wink of an eye. The story of love is Hello and Goodbye. Until we meet again..." -Jimi Hendrix

Your title wins the best of show award today!!!

It has always struck me as odd that for all the soul that music may reflect it is completely devoid of volition or of morality. It is a vehicle that may be driven to heaven or hell or anywhere between.

Thanks for the thought provoking write.
