Lyrics for Song: Rant II
Lyrics for Album: Your Sugar Sits Untouched: Poetry Book and CD [2005]
What is feeling if it can be smashed so easily?
Have I built up anything in the course of a happy day
that cannot be torn down by tomorrow's inevitable sorrows?
Am I so fragile that a word from the outside of the
transparent orb that encloses my physical self,
being said, pricks the invisible dome and leaves me
utterly defenseless against the onslaught of everyday
realities? And what is to be said for rebuilding that
shell? Will it provide me anything more than a few
short hours of divine oblivion?
Ah, but what can be accomplished in a few short hours?
Many great things, and these things,
if carefully constructed, may perhaps furnish a sort
of hospital waiting room wherein,
when I am next divested of my orb,
I might pass the time in slightly more comfortable
surroundings than had I been rushed directly to the operating table.
