Pistols

Why must pistols always be at dawn?
I am not a morning person
For the love of a woman
I'll go to bed
But not lose my head
It's simply not my idea of fun
And besides I don't even have a gun
(I mean why would I?!)
So if it's all the same to you
I'll not risk my life
You can keep my wife
I'll not die
Or eat lead
When I can lie in
and eat bread

you (9/11)



you were an inspiration
to at least one person
open brackets me close brackets
if not an entire generation
(ours)
a maverick in your field
the polar opposite of a scarecrow
so attractive!
and not just to birds
i might add
but i won't

if an ostrich could fly
that's the kind of ostrich
you would have been
no word of a lie
the best!

existence (or life: an ontological misunderstanding)



thou art no imaginary creature
for i could not imagine thee
unsurpassed in loveliness, unequaled in beauty
you are real in every conceivable way
it is i therefore who does not exist
- is there something i have missed?
