Shall we walk and discuss
the death of a man or
the death of a king.

Or should we discuss
how we could leave
and never been heard again

We could discuss how
our love was sacred
and never tame

Instead we discuss
why we failed and
always will fail
and peter into dust.

there's a galaxy of things i've said
would you like to choose one?
maybe we can write a song
and go dancing in town
drink mojitos and long island ice tea
just so I can say that thing
all over again

doesn't reading Eliot making you feel bad?
maybe i should retired to the house at the lake
and forget poetry all together.

do you read?
no?
At least you listen to good music.

there is only one good use of office time,
to admire you.
