Hi.

Great Lakes Monday

A bad day
but they all are
time to give up,
move into your car.
The only way you'll ever go far.
The power of positive thinking,
you know
will never work
for someone like you.
It's the truth
but disregard it,
forget this conversation
ever started.

If it's broken
don't fix it.

Home Sweet Here

Mostly you come
'cause the place is so near
stools you can sit on
where they serve beer
on the fourth drink
she always says cheers
you know where you are
you're home sweet here.

Now Ginger knows
without being told
one drink is amber
the other is gold
the glass may be warm
but the bottle is cold
the guys who hang out
are a jury of your peers
you're home sweet here.

No one is waiting
for her phone to ring
your apartment's your castle
and you are its king
as far as you can see
you own everything
sometimes
you fear
the end may be near
but that's ok.
you're home sweet here.

A Drink Before A Party (I didn't wind up going to)

you could go to a party
there's one you could go to
it's only 4 blocks away
people you know
happy to see you
no cover to pay.

somewhere you know
it should be appealing
people somewhere
they care.
still you don't go
you don't really want to
it even could be
that you're scared.

1/30/9. And vanished on her own, married some dude she met in the same bar she met me. I'm thinking I won't go. Ginger wears a tuxedo shirt.

H. Hour

Made a dare to yourself
then you were stupid
you said OK
and you came
now that you're here
all of your courage
curdles itself into shame

Never been older
still you know nothing
except for the fact
you don't know
dumb in your 20's
settled for nothing
that was a long time ago

So how did it work out?
How was your honey?
How was the thing that you want?
