A Knock Upon The Door |
«Hell!» |
sang the young minstrel, «hang tightly to your purses! |
Bitter winter on this blonde city and utter curses!» |
The song ended and the onlookers did roar |
Were I sincere, you bet I’d hear |
A knock upon the door |
«Hell!» |
went the Muse, intent, «you take me for granted! |
You’ve made me a harlot, if I may be candid!» |
The label dropped her, not before they shopped her in a bidding war |
Were I sincere, you bet I’d hear |
A knock upon the door |
The tired minstrel, leaving town, heard the Muse’s weeping |
He turned up the Elvis tape in his grey car, creeping |
«Sex and Death! |
Was I not the breadth among the two?» |
she poured |
«Were you sincere, I bet you’d hear |
My knock upon your door!» |
He said, «Dear Muse, Come here! |
Need a lift somewhere? |
You’ve got the wrong man, I was only kidding back there |
I worship you! |
Forgive me for behaving like such a boor |
I am sincere: I hope to hear |
Your knock upon my door!» |
«The Causeless Cause of Flawless Flaws has video on you.» |
She scorned |
«Evidence, in none defense, should I have you burned, deformed |
Hey! |
Hell is real and so will be your sores! |
Heck with sincere, hark, I hear |
A knock upon the door.» |
The derisive Muse said, «your therapy isn’t working, is it?» |
Memphis huckster-Hitler-hustler! |
Aren’t you a Clear yet? |
Always brooding the meaning of sex, pretending to be poor |
Klock is here! |
Hark, I hear |
A knock upon the door." |
His head throbbed under her voice, ubiquitous and soft |
Beads streamed from his hair, soaking his black t-shirt's cloth |
Gut feeling was to leave her words on the cutting-room floor |
He thought, «If I stay here, I’ll never hear |
That knock upon the door» |
Muse, exhausted, peered the accosted, her hand on her abdomen |
A human voice to her songs, she could not condemn |
Because of a communion they had had of yore |
The blessed day is near, soon they’ll hear |
A knock upon the door |
