Shelf Life |
I am consumed by delusions of grandeur |
I’m fallen prey to the beautiful girl |
I have seen romance in the obvious quarters |
And I have painted myself into that world |
I have constructed my own personal Babel |
But many passages remain out of print |
Leaving me in an unresolved sentence |
Without an idea of where it went |
I have developed an unnatural candour |
In contradiction to all I hold dear |
I think of myself as tall and silent |
This little voice is all that I hear |
Now the night’s drawing in |
I’m your unworthy friend |
At the untimely end of a lifetime |
Thinking I might hold on to my first marriage |
I learned the language of the self obsessed |
It was only later at the post-grad parties |
That it rewarded me with great success |
No longer waiting for my prayers to be answered |
No longer waiting for my publisher’s call |
No longer charming in my reminiscence |
Only immersed in a faint afterglow |
Now the night’s drawing in |
I’m your unworthy friend |
At the ungodly end of a lifetime |
