Gas Giant
Useless

so i told you when i thought you were alone
how i love you in this impossible beat poem
of course i wrote it (most of it) especially for you
of course i'll read it but there've been others in my shoes

and so i walked egyptian canyons on my own
strings of conciousness-forget this somber tone
i'm in trouble having missed another find
and every ruin has another song inside

making wishes on a vessel lost in time
or maybe anchored in my catalina sky
casting overboard a useless poet's whine
i'm just a denizen of rhythm, word and rhyme

so i wondered in the canyon all alone
why i loved you in this impossible beat poem
of course i wrote it (most of it) especially for you
of course i ruined it 'cause there've been others in my shoes
