Moratorium
2006
Capture this moment of fulfilment
with incense choking dirtndust
Vixen, write your assignment
I dont want to but I must
One exception excuses the other
A certain state of mind my soul
I know I finally should bother
to score my desired goal
But shame o’er me, Im overestimated
and Ive felt this hollow before
Shame all shy, but deliberated
I wont be shallow forever more
So I question my superior breath
with a sore and mumble throat
Am I yet dedicated to death?
“ ’tis said, were both in the same boat”
Sixpence for my pains that were senseless
allegedly a desecrated body
I cant give it up I must confess
what I live for is a moribund study
Of higher value for my highest truth
exeunt scrapes from old morains
I wont haste my sinful youth
or be a convict in Ironies chains
I will stay one night longer
Demeter will cure my scars
I will all of this, rise and be stronger
and for Jove I will gather the stars!
