polyester poetry

in my room

I'm the only guest

and in your dry-cleaned thoughts I'm second best

a cup of tea and polyester poetry

and I wait

and I'm wondering if I'm just a quote

in the book that you never wrote

can I put myself back on the shelf

as Edition No. 12

rest your brain

honey don't complain

Rimbaud and Hesse always took the blame

a cup of tea and polyester poetry

and we wait

and I'm wondering if I'm just a quote

in the book that you never wrote

can I put myself back on the shelf

as Edition No. 12
