"Take the next exit and you’ll see her by sunrise…"
And that I did
Because I’ll be first to play the part
Of an ignorant, arrogant fool….
It took only seconds to fall
Knee-deep
In unreciprocated love
But hours to sleep, drive, and drown…
I did stop to apologize for sinning alone along the way…
The wind carries word that perhaps you do worry
But my dearest dear Faye, I’m perfectly fine…
I’ll send you the postcard, three shells,
My shoes for good luck…
And
The new address is something
A little less mountain
A little more coastal
So please,
Don’t forget on occasion to write…
I’m the man that dances in sand
And kisses the pelican goodnight…
Oh no…
I’m not the strangest one… |
