Please don’t tell me what For I much prefer a why In understanding wherefore Living under an uncertain sky When dreaming up new answers One does nothing else but try Uncovering other ways to see To not disparage or decry Catching universal thoughts Forever fluttering by Like sitting on a spinning wheel Wasting little on the wry https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002z5q2 Jarvis Cocker wasn’t…
Prowling in the shadows Creeping out of view Surreptitiously the loiterer Stands in silhouette, askew A menacing state suspended Where action waits in turn For the unsuspecting passerby A journey yet to crash and burn
Falseness playing fast and loose To the eager ears of the pliant Who look to make their simple gains Stripped bare by the harrying giant The blabbing gabber can’t resist Wild hustling propositions Like a small-time grifter chattering Offering make-believe positions With the gift of glib preposterous Pushing thoughtless smug suggestions Charming slick with swindling lick Disguises snide intentions…
