You understand now
why he likes her so much
because she is pretty
and she talks so sweet
while you
on the other hand
only talks so loud
in words
that he can never touch.*
He has made her princess
in his gray strokes,
in his small town
while you
on the other hand
have been making him
a warrior
in all of your poetry,
in your world,
in your universe.
"London Bridge is broken down
Broken down, broken down
London bridge is broken down
My fair lady.
Set a man to watch all night,
Watch all night, watch all night,
Set a man to watch all night,
My fair lady."
