Another Chance
With another chance: no more pathetic misunderstood loner cowering in the shadows wasting time writing third-rate unread unmoving poetry No! I would be out there living Following the successful formula Swallowing all the lies Smiling as I spread and bent forehead to toes. Following the crowd their opinions and their flag Reciting all the latest clichés: "It's like-- You know? You see what I'm saying?" A first-rate CONSUMEr whistling commercial jingles at the top of my demographic bell-curve looking after #1 as the world is geared to. In another life another chance: I'd love 'em and leave 'em seeking first my pleasure: wealth, thrills, intrigues, affairs... Given another chance I would have a horde of friends and lovers whom I'd treat with insolence the more they loved me. Casting caution and integrity to the wind embracing conformity I'd reap immense popularity & melt into warm belonging at last. With just another chance. But not in this life. No, not in my life. |
