If I remain still |
|
If I am alone and silent long enough to hear the sound of my own blood |
|
Breathing or digesting about the rustling of leaves the world of refrigerator |
|
My father is likely to turn up |
|
He just arrived on bidding on running film of my thoughts |
|
Like Hitchcock and his pictures |
|
And he looks of all these 40 plus years of |
|
Just much like himself big and hairs hands with . at the back of his hands |
|
Perhaps a little more defeated the way it holds himself than |
|
I have remembered |
|
He doesn't stay long and as far as |
|
I can tell his visit has no message |
|
Yet years of therapy have left me and make the dark . claim that he is finally dead and gone |
|
My father who died when |
|
I was seventeen continues to be my principle ghost |
|
A lifelong and announced grease only my own end will finish it |
|
Older than my old man now. |
|
He died at 63. |
|
That's way too young. |
|
Now you've got to feed me, now you've got to need me |
|
And I feel like a faithless son. |
|
Sixty-four is awful old. |
|
You know what can happen next. |
|
Hell, I'm older than my old man ever was |
|
And I'm trying to keep it in context. |
|
I am older than my old man |
|
His father died and 43 now is all grey |
|
I got 20 years more |
|
I guess we have to wait and see |
|
I wasn't sure the day will come |
|
I have been living underneath his... |
|
I don't feel so free |
|
I don't feel like me |
|
Now that I don't have no place to run |
|
I am older than my old man now |
|
I guess that means |
|
I kicked his ass |
|
Just that you have survived . nobody is sure exactly why |
|
Everybody has to die |
|
Still it comes this . know you got to go |
|
And the world is gonna pass you by |
|
I am older than my old man |
|
I am older than my old man ever was |
|
I try to keep it in context |
|
I am older than my old man ever was |
|
I am guilty to outlive my ex |
