    There's a piece of tinsel above the fire
    where you left a crispy nut in the crystal bowl.
    I stroll, sigh and pick up IT in resonating muses by
    which i mean to tell you not a minute of an hour of a day
    goes by
    when i don't remInisss..
    the past and how it changed my me, for who am i
    but just this hollow shell
    defined by your puppetry?

    So slow the empty days of now
    the news of you comes quick and fast at the marble telephone,
    and when it rings you speak of cabbages, kings and gravy.
    Steps that pick-me-up
    eg:synthetic E-numbers/loose men/savage media and vague musication...
    That listed I in a rainy night while it crusted over
    the mildew settling on my head
    while i watch the tape play you-
    shaking the drips from your heavy head.

    4 months later, i reply to a telegram from the Queen,
    (not literally of course)
    I'm sent to outer regions where an existian only rewards the
    stable minds.
    Quick, queasy muppets! I'm still trapped by you,
    with your hair style/clothe style/style style

    I repeat
    with your shiny eyes i watch you weep for Madeline
    yet another 'conquest' (in my humble opinion)
    Bitterness bites my throat
    but i can't choose to speak these things
    only to comfort and patiently wait for your happiness again.
    That's when the hypothermia sets in
    and i throw out the empty nut packet


    but i just can't let go of some pieces of rubbish...
