i can only communicate
to you
in letters
i don't think it's because
you interrupt
it's more like i interrupt
myself
i don't think it's because
you aren't listening
it's more like i'm sick
of hearing my own words
i hope
whatever floats my boat
will pass through
turbulent waters
to your heart
but i won't be sure
unliess i write it down
painstankingly
with pencil, paper
and bits of my soul
go forth
dear bottle
and grow
(know)
Keeping your feelings "corked up"?
ReplyDeletea tactic quite familar to some.....
DeleteJim Croce could not put time in a bottle; I oft times have difficulty finding my feelings unless I take them out of a bottle. As Jimmy Buffett wrote: "I drink a lot of whiskey/it gives me such a glow/it makes me quite immobile/but it lets my feelings show"
ReplyDeletewhiskey is an interesting truth serum. i stick with corona, but vodka works, too....
