| If the death of a writer brings life in his readers
|
| Then what does that mean that we? |
| re still breathin?
|
| All of us have learned our words
|
| Some of us have less and some have more but
|
| They? |
| re all equally capable of ruining things for
|
| A simple kiss to an apology
|
| To a I miss a eulogy and
|
| It all depends how you tap those typing keys
|
| Like a dusty old sack under that magazine rack
|
| We? |
| re just a floor full of issues
|
| With our burdens printed on our backs
|
| One time in Texas as I browsed those endless aisles
|
| And I thumbed through those volumes
|
| And sifted through those piles
|
| I wondered if they could go back in time
|
| Would they twist the plot and move a lot and
|
| Are they haunted by their reprints late at night
|
| And I thought about my own tales
|
| And how often the hero failed and
|
| Should I do some revising of my own
|
| A warped piece of wax on that gramophone mat we just
|
| Spin and spin and spin as our pasts
|
| Keep on playing back
|
| Be careful what you wish for |
