DOWNRIGHT MY’IRONIC I thought it was funny how I taught you to talk like the other guy. I said “you’re too nice” and helped you talk like the other guy. You nailed it. Talking like the other guy. I was loving it. You talking like the other guy. You got asshole and mean-like just like […]

Looking for Part I? Go here for Part II! And now, for the Journey Endeth… THE DINING-ROOM TABLE The dining-room table is such a special place, isn’t it? It’s where we greet each other in the morning over breakfast half awake. Over lunch with a friend we haven’t seen in a while. Or through long […]

ALL MY LIFE Nothing gold can stay But a diamond lasts forever? We’re diamonds, sort of. Made of materials from shooting stars that exploded in a galaxy afar. Spun about to make our Earth And now we have a place to hang. Nothing gold can stay But a diamond lasts forever is the cliché They […]

But what if I could? Shit, I can’t so I won’t. Shhh, I did and I hoped. And it keeps coming back, circling round is it a joke, ebb and the flow, constant rollercoasting? Are you a shy man? A tense man? A rather nervous bloke? I secretly saw your hands shake on your piano […]
