hollering emptiness into the void

Well, let's just skip it, just move on past

Do I want to? not really

What I really want is to move on past,
  to just get over it, and move on

Then, maybe I can get back to seeing you
   and loving you
as the beautiful, sunny and loving person you truly are

And not to see you
   as the beautiful and sexual person
   who sleeps at the other end of the house
for whom the joyful underpinnings of intimacy
   seem worth no extra effort
   (just the bill-paying variety)
and from whom no extra effort of mine
   earns extra

I sometimes see you reaching out to me
   and I try O I try to reach back
But I know how far it will ungo
How you will tickle, then
   not show

So lets just skip it, and move on
And form a loving co-head corporation
And so on and on in tandem solitarity

Do I want to? no

But if like a Scarlet un-A bosom, patiently borne
   we bear us nobly on
We may yet nobly win, or meanly lose
A pair of someday rockers on the porch



[Sorry folks.  Me again.  Same shit, different day.  I'm just rattling the cage, hollering emptiness into the void.  Love is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.  Love is the fart of every heart: it pains the man who keeps it close, and pains everyone else when it gets let loose.  Not all of us can cool our burning brow with Front Page lovely pearls of troubly-bubbly love.  We see and admire and wish we could say, then sometimes fuckit do it anyway.  These are my letters to a world that never wrote to me -- who was never much more than a corner-whacker at this circle-jerk, anyway.  We do, doodly-do, what we must-muddledy must, muddily do, muddily do, till we bust, bodily bust.  My name is yon yonson, I live in Wisconsin.  and so on...

I knew I should have just gone to bed.  Okay, I'm going to bed now...alone, for the record...]
