Blue Notebook State 47

Barn with little hemlock at state 47.
State 47 to me.
Home to someone else.
A nice place to write a poem
A tough place to mow the lawn.
and all those coke sniffing Senators in Washington DC
what do they know?
A bunch of Elvis's teaching, blackie how to dance.
How to rock bottom hard and keep rolling.
Iowa....man I gotta give it to you.
3 Vowels and 1 Contestant
and yet you you still keep yourself together.
What will you do when I move to state 48
What will I do with my memories of you?

I guess the things that you say are true

Well I might not understand all the things you've been through.
And I guess it would be different, if I was you.
But the thing you have to understand, before you give me advice
Is that you aren't so smart and you aren't that wise.

&

I guess the things that you say are true
But they're still just your point of view
Cant you see it not all right
To be this was all day and night.

Everyone goes through things differently
Choruses cant be made from singing separately.
It can only be conscientiously.

I guess we each have to understand that society
is all big and grand
but it is no promised land
and if we dont work toghether
we will die alone

So we must atone
 
 

Narrow Lanes @ 31

Took the wrong exit today
Seems that I went the wrong way.
But down there I saw a sign
It said "Caution Bridge Ahead"
And below was a picture
Of a road that was all intertwined.

Still I needed to reach home
So I went on straightaway
Then I saw another sign
All it said was "Narrow Lanes"

Narrow Lanes and 31
There were Narrow Lanes at 23.
I like Narrow Lanes a lot
Cause, they're still wide enough for me.

Damn I used to be afraid.
Of the many possabilites.
But Narrow Lanes are up ahead
Thing are going easy perfectly.

When I go to the store.
Choices are made again and still
I am always looking for....
Something
A little more
But nothing
Will quite thy will

Narrow Lanes at 31
Are like Narrow Lanes at 23
I don't mind the Narrow Lanes.
Cause they're still wide enough for me.

I've been on the wide  highway
Plenty of times
Bumper to bumper
Summer Heat
Construction that never ends
And Orange Signs
Unable to move
In the large and widened street.

There are no trees
There's little sky
Concrete pathway straight to hell
And though the lanes are broad
Where I am going.
I cant tell.

I've been along the thin and winding road
I've crashed my car there thrice or twice.
And when I sat outside the wreckage of my life
I breathed the air in and I had to say it was quite
Nice.

Give me back alleys and small streets.
Narrow Lanes are I need
Narrow Lanes at 31 or 23
They're Still wide enough for me

 

She Doesn't Scream As Well

Marquis-de-Toot You told me there were more things to you...i told you I believed you. You showed me there were more things to you...and I realized I had not. I believe you know 13 minutes ago (delete) Marquis-de-Toot It hard to pull the rug from under my feet. Good Job 13 minutes ago Marquis-de-Toot In a world full of disappointment...I guess that why I fell I love with you....you still leave me Pleasantly Suprised. 11 minutes ago Marquis-de-Toot I guess the line that killed me was when you turned to me and explained w/o me asking. That I of all people should know "that pain teaches you things about which parts of yourself to embrace". You claim to be Vanilla.....HAHAHA please. I'll do a Sexual Hook Suspention Scene, and you will be the one who'll come out with the wisdom. 5 minutes ago Marquis-de-Toot You're like a strategy guide for my soul....FUCK 4 minutes ago Marquis-de-Toot Or how about the time when you told me that you were proud of me because I "didn't need anyone to save me anymore" 2 minutes ago Marquis-de-Toot You taught me to swim and then told me you were proud of me for not drowning..... 1 minute ago

You're

Well next time you're depresed.
Remember you could be next
It really all expressed
And one day you're going to die

You live you're life repressed.
Never naked; always dressed
Take away you're masks
And let you're freak flag fly.

You're always so composed
You're always on your toes
But it's not what you chose
So live your life

It's never you're turn to dance
If you never take the chance
So hit that dance floor
And learn to jive

I am sorry

Well I am sorry

Baby, don’t you know

And it’s not the way

I wanted things to go

But I am guessing…

What I am saying.

Is going

To

Matter

In the end.

So I am sorry

Baby…let be friends

And I guess

You’re probably asking

Why?

I am apologizing

After all this time

But the reason is one

I can’t quite say

I am sorry

But that’s

Not me today

I am sorry

Even though

You and I both know…

And I don’t care about anything

That Happened

.

But you need to hear me say

What you want me to say

But I am sorry

But that not me today

.

When we fight

No dishes get thrown

When we lie,

No vows get sworn

So I am sorry

Is that what you want…

To hear?

I am sorry that I

Was not able

To concur

Your fears.

But

That’s

Something

That

You

Just

Have

To

Do

On

Your

Own.

I am sorry

Sorry

Sorry

Sorry…that you and I are both alone.

I know babe

That you think

I don’t understand

But that’s just

Your ego and avarice

Playing grand.

You think one can have

All their issues figure out.

But babe that someone

Is not you

Overcoming is

What you’re about

You have feelings

But I am sorry

I feelings too

And I am sorry

That I caught them

For you

.

I am sorry

If you heard this before

And I am sorry

That you stood

Outside my door

And I am sorry for

The lack of things we had done

But I am not really sorry

Cause the things

We did

Were fun

So I guess it just obligatory

That I say I am sorry.

My Red Headed Rose

 I never tried to understand…

The things which you have said you’ve done

Those things were yours, were yours alone

And I was just glad … you had fun

But I always stared when you left.

And wept inside thoughts of my desire

Then I would call you for days

While white thought was burned by black fire.

I think that everybody knows

The truth which you think few can see

You are my Red Headed Desert Rose.

And I just want to pluck thee.

Pluck Thee

Pluck Pluck Thee

Pluck Pluck Pluck Thee

Your petals will fall one by one.

Your essence it will see you through

You’ve only seen one side of me

Now let me see both sides of you.

Its really elementary

Like numbers and the alphabet

There are either the things you do,

Or there are the things that you regret.

You are a read-headed desert rose

And I just want to pluck thy heart

But here is the thing that I propose

You want pluck me, in your part

Pluck Pluck Pluck pluck pluck me

Pluck Pluck Pluck pluck pluck you. .
