Why I'm Lonely |
Saint Leonard touched a Philistine |
A sacred tongue, a perfect rhyme |
But even he was «not much nourished |
By modern love.» |
So I told her that everything she does is divine |
And she replied with a blank expression |
(an object lesson in making me feel benign) |
Then whispered, «Independence and indifference |
Are the wings which allow the heart to fly.» |
Feelings I have had too often |
Still no plan in place |
To soften the inevitable blow |
(the rituals we know) |
And with the right revolting piety of tone |
The word «freedom» |
Can make you want to lock yourself |
In a deep dark dungeon |
But everybody follows pleasure |
Everybody gets somewhere, I swear |
I wish I could be less aware |
Now it’s absolutely clear to me |
That solitude is not the same as singularity |
But that’s not why I’m lonely |
No, that’s not why I’m lonely |
