The Pitch 2
THE PITCH 2
words then silence
can alter one’s perception
like being in another world
“get lost” she says
see what i mean
the girl next door
plays the piano badly
oh she is gorgeous
but all turns to ashes
when she murders debussy
those early days
there was this one girl
but i lacked courage
after 30 years she’s fat
and i am prince valiant
oh those short dresses
and so so short
i can’t remember faces
days of the week yes
and colors
first kiss
trying to arrange the angle
close your eyes
go for it
a near miss
