I am here for Friends

About Me

Passive antibody, romantic rebel, too much too soon.Sly glances are exchanged behind a veil As surreptitious fingers find their place Black crows perform a ballet in the sky And scorpions put on their public face.Talking is suspended for the day As imbeciles lay out the wedding feast Communication breakdown, the couples blankly stare Investigate the odour of the beast.An onanistic orgy is decreed Binoculars and notebooks may be used Slow dancers hold their partners in a tight, unnatural way The order of the lonely and confused.An empty sky festooned with precious things With baubles, bangles, memories and fears They raise a glass to abstinence, to continence and loss And toast the coming Calvinistic years.Those empty vows, those shallow words of love Those dedications echo in this hall Those promises they made, those pledges duly signed Harsh witness to this final curtain call.Myspace Backgrounds

And there's always David Munyon...and...and...and.....Joni...and...and (shameless plug...check out www.myspace.com/passiveantibody )and John Prine...and...and

Television:

No

Books:

Still one in me.

Heroes:

Yesterday's or today's?

Barking

BARKING It's not you, it's not me But today I feel like a human Bonsai tree, pruned and clipped Stunted and stripped Gnarled and old yet Strangely symmetrical no less Sixty years growth condensed Into...
