Up in the attic, i reached in the cabinet And read the last five years of unfinished lyrics Put to half-thought-out changes in complex arrangements All vague and satiric, odd rhyme schemes and meters I'm wincing at poor form and indistinct metaphors "Like stale bits of petit four," or "like amateur pedicures" Or "we measure our leisure like so many seizures" Or "the night fell like curtains, furtive and certain" I should have a pseudonym to distance myself from this kind of thing So no one will recognize this scripted alibi The pipe underneath of the sink started dripping I put down a bowl and it filled every hour She visits at seven and gives me the business Saying she'd "never live in such barbaric conditions" I'm guessing she's right; i'm thinking the same thing How did i sink to this shabby position? I look at the hole that i've dug and am living in A box of used books and a broken old box spring I should have a pseudonym to distance myself from this kind of thing So no one will recognize the name on the door of this declining mid-rise A gray-looking joint at the edge of the harbor An entrance between two tall orange dumpsters Down the long thin hallway resounds the hum of a motor And twenty yards of art of dogs playing poker Shown to my room where a textbook awaits me Weeks disappear as if the shifting of car gears Or the turn of a steering wheel has made me some puppeteer Twiddling the strings i've attached to my wooden ears Clouds in the window like shaving cream lather The phone rings and i spring into action The caption of this little picture as i struggle with my diction As the nervousness kicks in, "fact's stranger than fiction" I should have a pseudonym to distance myself from this kind of thing So no one will recognize the name i scrawl on this dotted line
