Schmaltz waltz (2009)

 the love and the sadness did a dance tonight

there weren't no music didn't break out in fights




thoughts most precious, cast before swine

logged by foes, rest by a pint of white whine




why o why are our heads so thick?

with guts of feelings spanglin' the dick?




why o why is my folks so dumb?

sweetsour intricacies of coming undone.




                           **


my friends are perfect i think that they know

the world is pure butter 2% yellow snow



my heartache is contagious and mostly benign

just suture my memory on some dotted line




a guy stabs his heart in writing a song

to find the mercy of wanderin' on



the sadness and the loved duked it out all night

there ain't no grammar in the language of slights 





2009
