Shhhh...it's a stupid story hiatus

But rather this morning I shall tender a stupid poem instead. This is actually for a gal up north (nearly Canada really) and is completely true. But I know for a fact she ain't a reader of this humble rag. So it's cool. It ain't that often I get spooked and run like this.

Enjoy. I live for your satisfaction, however tepid. Double your money back. With a simile.

(If You) Hold Me Down Tonight 18 Aug 96

To you I've never been no more than restlessness and lies.
Like lightning bugs in Mason jars, pretty but they can't fly.
Yes, I understand the principle, but baby roll the dice...
Might understand the randomness that simulates my life.
I'll slip into the darkness when that collar gets too tight.
Love, life and lies.

Now beauty, there's no question girl, the world belongs to you.
And a man could go half crazy just to watch the way you move.
How I loved your warmth and tenderness, but could not take the lights
you shined into my eyes to always keep me in your sight.
Yes, I'll slip right through your fingers if you hold me down tonight.
Love, life and lies.

Though we're far removed from strangers, intertwined at morning light.
I can recognize the longing I see hidden in your eyes.
Yes, I understand the principle, but baby I ain't blind...
it's nothing more than randomness that simulates my life.
Now I'm lost between forboding and the fact that I'm on fire.
Love, life and lies.

Yes, I understand the principle, but baby roll the dice...
try and understand the randomness that simulates my life.

OK, that's what I got. I'll see what I can do once I get to the office. Boredom often is inspirational.
