Lost in a paperback rain
|
Picking through books that you won't read again
|
Keeping your promises vague
|
Lost in the crowd in the circus parade
|
|
Keeping your Polaroids dry
|
Delirious fevers burn night after night
|
The cryptic malaise that you're in
|
The art that may come of it I'd recommend
|
|
To focus attention on books you might write
|
Ripped off from diaries, kept out of sight
|
The evidence you hide
|
|
Keeping your bed warm at night
|
It's not an illusion it glows very bright
|
With the young coal the fire is fed
|
Who you keep with you is best left unsaid
|
|
On finding particular friends
|
Remember that all moral fiber will bend
|
To put them in letters you burn as you write
|
Seen in reflections and not with your eyes
|
Cultivating lies
|
