All I Have Left

Sirens screaming down the street/ cat at my feet/BBC on the tele/worried about Kelly/air outside laden with moisture, rain/ carrying the song of a far away train/ brother can you take me back/where I came from/ can you take me back?/haunting Beatles tune no one remembers/ so many Septembers/waiting for the arrival/ of the tool of survival/sterile stainless steel/the past so real/hurry doc/the ticking clock/is winding down/while no one's around/wisps of grey ectoplasm/psychological spasm/ losing my grip/I'm too old to be so hip/:-P life's been one long acid trip/too funny to die/ now, don't start to cry/ fish gotta' swim/ bird gotta' fly/ man gotta' ask himself: why, why, why/ laugh people, don't feel bereft/ humor, my friends, is all I have left. © Danielle White
