Ode № 102767
Litany
Inspiration, wait for me -
I've smoked about a thousand of your cigarettes,
and drunk all our coffee and beer â and yet
when I've lain late by you in bed I've thought,
sometimes, you were slipping away from me.
So it's been: I've watched you grow heavy with old debts
and all of the things I haven't bought -
but wait and see,
patiently,
a while longer, weary watcher who frets,
who seldom tells her worries but whets
whatever there is of a blade in me.
My inspiration, stay for me -
just help me stay that inattentive place in me
which soon forgets;
and when I'm finished, when I've shown I've not
been wrong at this, then all I've got
is yours in return, and gratefully.

How do you know where I come from?
"The war on terror is real and ugly! Islam understands and "eye for an eye", so maybe it is time that we impale the heads of some of those ragheads we have in custody and post them outside Baghdad City Hall! Tactical Nuclear Weapons...ring a bell?!? Ali-Fucking-Akbar! It is time we quit pussyfooting around in that shit hole and level it! As for those bad assed ragheads that cut Nick Berg's head off, a slow tortuous death awaits them...say, on the ant hill?? I think a lot of public humiliation followed by the most greusome, slow death imaginable would still be too good! TNW...Tactical Nuclear Weapons...don't forget that. This is a global war and we really need to begin kicking some serious ass!!"

If yes, please spare us and walk off a cliff.
Besides if I was on this site in May at least the last four digits of "my" I P address would be different if not all,you
silly mooncalf.
I guess your right about the punctuation,but terribly wrong about my I P address and it being on uberconservative hate pages, so fuck you and your sad attempt at slander.
Have a good night,
Doug

I agree his music is.... well his music,but he has a definite
knowledge of poetry.I just wanted his honest opinion without all
the insults.He really is'nt a bad person once you sift through all the pretentious bullshit.
And what didn't you like about the Raleigh song, which is the only one posted which I wrote and sang and am even halfway interested in? Was it the poor recording quality? My mediocre singing voice? The fact that I rhymed "Genevieve" with seemingly nothing?
I'm mostly asking because I'm thinking of starting a semi-edgy adult-contemporary band called Superplain which you might find a lot more up your alley. I imagine writing a bunch of whiny ballads in the Counting Crows/Train/Matchbox 20 vein about all the things I've never done, dangerous self-destructive orphan women, and what a grey uninteresting place I live in and how I wish I could go back to some beautiful sunshiny place like L.A. They'll go something like:
I never ever tried a crack,
Or invented a human spider act,
Or rode a freight-train, or ever once tried
Man-man fellatio...
She always drinks grape soda in her high heels!
Says she was an extra once on Al-ly Mac-Beal!
Walks down Sunset Strip dressed
Kind of like a geisha...
Like a geisha...
Like a geisha...
<WHINIER PART - WITH STRINGS!>
'Cause everyone in this place
Is always thinking exactly the same thing as me,
Even as I'm thinking it -
Even right now,
And now,
And no-o-o-o-w!!!!!!!1!!11!
<ETC ETC AD NAUSEAM>
P.S. I like Counting Crows or I think I used to like them?
I always try to see if those who call the kettle black are also pots.
You are a bit tenderhearted aren't you?
meow and lick to you,
cat
