If You See My Beloved

We walked to the dam behind the art museum
you said you made a connection with Auguste Rodin
you must’ve been tired from standing so much
because you took my hand and we held each other up
some time went by before you asked me
why was I so distracted, how could I have changed so quickly?
the water was pretty, but unclear
does the flow come naturally here?
everything makes an impression
clouds come on, do their drifty thing
now it’s starting to rain, the only day we both have off
it’s starting to rain
if it don’t bother you, then it don’t bother me
eddies were breaking on the spillway gates
I said “I’m sorry, that’s just how I operate”
you always had a supportive attitude
I don’t care what you say, I agree with you
everything came on quickly
is something wrong? no, never
now it’s starting to rain on the only day we have
it’s starting to rain
if it don’t bother you, it don’t bother me
carry me in your current, deliver me to your gulf stream
if you’d asked me then, I would’ve said we were living the dream
believe me, my admiration for you hasn’t died
the heaven of us is still daily on my mind
everything makes an impression
clouds came on, did their thing
now it’s starting to clear up on the only day
it’s starting to clear up
if it don’t bother you, then it don’t bother me
if you see my beloved, say what’s up for me

God, It’s so hard to know if anything we do makes any little difference
everyone I know has a job to do, and it always makes a difference
sal, how are you doing? it’s easy to tell you’re doing right if it feels like losing
I was weaving on my loom a blanket for my room, but it got complicated
whether you are old or young, you gotta tell someone they are appreciated
sal, it’s good to see you. it’s easy to tell you’re doing right by the way that they cheat you
so when you find yourself bound to someone else, always be generous
because you will never know what it is you do that makes the difference

A Few Weeks

The first time we kissed had me feeling ecstatic
like Dix and Laurel in the first half of In A Lonely Place
the first time we kissed was so cinematic
I had a room on Huntingdon
we didn’t leave except for coffee
from my tiny room in Kensington
Is that normal for you?
the first time we argued felt like pulling a lever
you cried and said “I love you a lot, sometimes.”
Well, sometimes is better than never
I heard you moved again, this time to the Midwest
there’s nice people there, there’s nice people everywhere
I heard you moved again, let me guess, you were feeling restless

we were few, maybe only three
beneath the blue light of Sunoco
the rain was soft, you tried to puke
and only coughed. Oh how wretched
Oh, how wasted. One of us was angry
or just frustrated. I’m fuzzy on the details
my friend, are you disillusioned?
either party, either part or be partners
is this the right address?
you ought to know, I guess
but you forget. You forget so much, so let me tell you
you don’t have to worry about me
but I still worry about you
well, It’s something that we are here
overcoming the usual hurdles
speak to me of your new job
of mercy, and things that hold together
hold onto this. Do you feel like moving?
be realistic. if you say so, I believe you
be the man who shines ahead
and just like a star, he is dead
is this the right address?
you ought to know, I guess
but you forget. You forget so much, so let me tell you
you don’t have to be happy all the time
you don’t have to be, just thanks is nice

Workhorse

I went to the bank and I withdrew, like I always do
and I came back home with an aching head, don’t smoke in bed
am I a shock out of season? I’m feeling out of season
am I a workhorse?
I don’t believe angry men. I believe in vacation days and the annual raise
when will I meet my creator, will I meet my neighbors?
is there a hedge around me? I don’t see a hedge around me
am I a workhorse?
I went to the banks and I saw the geese take flight
sign me up to fly, I want to take that ride
on the official airline of the magic kingdom

Sure, But

From amongst the Adidas
of the Forman Mills
in a moment of weakness
I called the one that I love still
I called but you couldn’t hear me
you were getting on a train
you sounded so like yourself
you sounded so brave
and nothing was begetting nothing
I was fine this morning. Bullshit, nobody was fine this morning
I know I can’t play you
cool as a cucumber
I wouldn’t want to try and play you
hell, I know you got my number
I’m still operating
on some major misconceptions
you said my soul was needing
major reflection
but I’m busy this afternoon getting crunched by hyenas
I was free this morning, free like free willy

Moment of Discovery

Little moment of discovery
shine a light on me
don’t let apathy
keep me busy
solid as cement
and about as permanent
I’m forced to admit
you got a rational argument
little duckling leaving your mama’s wake
have you made a grave mistake?
I could never undertake
such a daring escape
