She's a midnight coffee And although I'll never get to sleep with her She'll help me with my poetry. This reminds me of a song, or the uttered Idea that manifested in fantasies of a non-singer. The story of a man who finds a trolley Down in the river. He decides to pull it from the debris. For what a strange story it'd be. So he could have that metaphor For a speech or some eulogy. About the trolley that was pulled up Out of the river. Because, he'd like to think Someone would pull him, Despite that he stinks and sinks and thinks Too much on stupid stories. I think I missed the train of thought there, But here she comes again, so fanatically fair.
"Twelve o'clock. Along the reaches of the street Held in a lunar synthesis, Whispering lunar incantations Dissolve the floors of memory And all its clear relations, Its divisions and precisions, Every street lamp that I pass Beats like a fatalistic drum, And through the spaces of the dark Midnight shakes the memory As a madman shakes a dead geranium." -T.S. Eliot
