"tra la la la bomba dear this is the pilot speaking
and I've got some news for you
it seems my ship is still stands no matter what you drop
and there ain't a whole lot that you can do
oh sure the banner may be torn and the wind's gotten colder
perhaps, I've grown a little cynical
but I know no matter what the waitress brings
my cup shall be full
 my cup shall always be full"

this writing life is literary madness, literally... maybe figuratively too, for that matter (or non-matter, for that matter... who knows what it means?)... no rest, no sleep too many promises to keep... nothing sown, nothing reaped, too much time alone in the deep... as if something truly profound might come out of the ramblings, the process continues... as if something truly worthwhile might come out of the babblings, the fingers continue to press keys and send the words out here for anyone to read... what minds can find when not too blind might be cruel to some and to others kind... but judgments made are not divine, friends made are the bottom line... and that's why I am here...

what's your reason?
what's your season?
what's your judgment on it all?

what's your story?
what's your glory?
what's your promise, after all?

what makes you who you are?
out of all the people in this world
how should I know you?

what do you wish on a star?
when the whole damn thing seems meaningless
then what do you do?

what's your answer?
what's your line?
what's the difference between yours and mine?

what's your cancer?
what's your cure?
what opens and closes your door?

if I want to know you
what should I know?
what defines you better than anything else?

if I want to blow you
what should I blow?
what's the most important thing on your shelf?

what's most sensitive?
what would you never give?
what's the secret that you will never share?

what's the point of this?
what do you most miss?
how am I supposed to believe you care?

how am I suppose to know you're even there?

well blow me down (or blow my mind) you can be so hard to find but that's alright, I know what's mine... I wonder what's your bottom line?... sneeze if you must... are you a humble servant (if so, to whom or what and when and where and most importantly how and why?)... are you a laundry detergent? (it's just a rhyme, no soap, radio, alibi)... cough if you must... duyeh...

ultimately the scars still hurt
reluctantly the wounds still bleed
I know exactly what I want
but I don't know what I need

truthfully I mean no harm
honestly I am quite sad
I know exactly what drives me crazy
but I don't know if I'm mad

what was the best I ever had?

I think I'm ready for another try
though the last trial still brings me down
when someone you trust just won't let go
there's a chance you both might drown
what can be said for trust betrayed
the question may always remain
and if there is no remedy
you both might go insane

maybe that was my worst pain?

so how to reclaim sanity
who will trust me now
looking at my history
I really don't know how
innocent fool laid open wide
too easily abused
we don't learn what we don't want to learn
it hurts to be refused

maybe I'm just confused?

so use me once and use me twice
and then throw me away
it's a disposable society
what else is there to say
no matter what we think or do
the scars will never go away
I'm still looking for the one
who is gonna stay

maybe that's you today

every now and then I revisit the scenes of the crimes and clear away whatever debris (did you know most of common household dust is dead skin?) has accumulated over time... cleaning wounds still open and assessing scars (not that it matters after the fact) and trying to believe I might still be whole and secure and trustworthy and beautiful enough to attract the one... I remain alone because I don't want to dump the baggage on anyone, I don't want to bleed on anyone... and yet, the one is the one who will want to help clean the wounds and fascilitate the optimal healing... in fact, the process can not be complete without the one... time may heal all wounds, but time also allows for many more wounds... that's why youth is so attractive...

do the scars show on my face?
am I still crying yesterday's tears?
am I still angry about betrayals
that have not happened for years?
the most unattractive thing of all
are idle age old fears
malignant doubts about one's self
keeps beauty in arrears

maybe that's why you don't see my face yet... maybe that's why I haven't splurged on the up-to-date computer or digital camera... maybe I don't like the way I look so I don't want to visually present myself to the world today... maybe I'm afraid I lost too much... or have been hurt too much... or look like too much the fool I've been... too undefined?... too many pieces missing?... no one judges today, not even me... except in default, in abstentia, in silent non-action... and I wonder how she's doing today...
