"Do you re member me?"- J. Scott
what did you think would happen-
you got me listening to these songs of love and longing,
so I can practice my Jill Scott.
Its Love, The Way ect ect
How am I not suppose to think of you,
listening to love songs over and over
(Crimson and Clover)
You are not even gonna take me-
Are you?
Week full of love songs.
You'd say that's My problem.
but you know, it's now Yours too.
A week full of love songs...
Sing them to me-
I want to sing them to you.
You've been leaving
crumbs
hoping I'll starve.
But
I was
already left for dead.
Your crumbs
will not sate the hunger-
(The hunger is just always there)
No
your crumbs are just enough
to keep me alive,
for now.
Just enough
to collect
over time
and
lay them on the ground
when
the day comes, you lead me into that dark forest.
The darkest forest-
(the one with sexy witch in a spooky dress
who live in the candy house)
And with those crumbs,
I can
find my way
maybe back home,
maybe to you,
maybe one
and the same.
I'm here to think about her,
Drink-
Sing into this microphone
to strangers.
Get it out-
(one way or another)
Erica is rockin out-
you keep dancing with
fury of youth.
Your energy rocks louder than
any voice in this dive.
I tell you: you are my rock and roll hero.
I hug my rock and roll hero.
She's got bangs. She would
wouldn't she.
(Who lets babies into bars )
This song is for some other.
but-
Stick around and clap for us, Erica with bangs.
Rock out
I see you.
Look up there!
In the shawdows-
The streets-
There is
Danger.
Look up there!
There was …
in
The shawdows-
On the roof,
Of that building.
I saw him there!
There -
it’s the Nefarious X!
The
Nefarious X
is back
Motherfuckers!
Beware-
The Night is mine
To claim-
Criminal underworld
Beware!
Liars, Cheaters and Garbage people
Beware!
If these words don’t knock you out
With a KAPOW
These fists
Will…
His eyes go wide
with the love for trains.
He can't hide it.
Enthusiasm is contagious-
Clack Clack Clack
and in the background-
there is the sound of the ocean tide.
Ah little one
(Le Petit Prince)
Standing behind your mother
Like a light house guiding you
in this life.
Keeping you safe.
You peek
as she stands proud and
one day you will want to go see where the trains go-
move from behind your mother,
but that is someday-
Brave little guy
Born curious always akin "why"?,
(Don't worry kid even I'm still askin "why")
You love the trains
and like a train one day
love will take you
where need go.
You were born brave,
well maybe not quite born brave-
No, no you get that from your mother.
(From the Getaway series)
There
in that old room of yours-
the music that played
was the sound
of youth.
I was so young, careless and clueless
about who you were-
how much you would stay a part of me.
"But you don't really care for music do you?"
There
in that room
mattress on the floor listening to your music collection-
Grant Lee Buffalo-
Hefner-
The Replacements-
(and I thought I was cool).
But
it was the sad songs
that were answered prayers from a god
who hadn't been pickin up in a while.
You'd play Jeff Buckley-
Hallelujah would
flood your room
No Ark
No dove
No olive branch of forgiveness
We drown in
the sound of man with the voice like golden halo of light
proclaiming thou shalt weep for love one day-
(and that day will comes for all)
It filled the room like the light of a candle
inside of the ribs
filling us up
overflowing in you
illumining your great blue eyes.
It feels like love,
and its evil twin
at the same time.
"And all I ever learned from love was how to shoot
somebody who outdrew you."
the sad ones
Hallelujah
the sad ones-
the ones I would played with you there
the ones I would play even after you were no longer there.
Here
in this room the song plays
again after so long and the room is empty
Here
even with the one
who brought me back-
(even with her here)
Here
the
room is empty
smaller
cold
and dark
The song shines again
a halo
a halo
singing
"love is not a victory march,
Its a cold and broken Hallelujah"
The people in this room
disappear
she disappears
and for moment we are perfect
in your room again.
You sing into my ear again.
