Original message
sign. on my back.
she said 'you've a sign
on your back -- did you know
says "kick -- me"'
i didn't know
but i know now
the dances are all fine
the dancers finer
but in the end i stay up late
past everyone
and write about things other
than real or true
every last bit buried in code
an endless stream of non
what comes out -- look
over there -- fascinating
certain films to tears
certain songs to heart thrums
my beautiful lucky when
when i was
not really
not chosen
stopped the gap
useful
can not complain
certain films to turn away
wishes and fishes and over they go
can not be sad
certain songs to grip and squeeze
look at all the lonelies
here in the lonely box
things are as and not over yet
tattooine on its two suns -- did you hear?
mars in spring -- i'll go
it's time
i don't mind
damn the sign
