october-moon's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Thing Now This is your new thing now. Naked as a rose, everything exposed, but not quite. This is your new thing now. Cards out on the table. A genius with no label, but not quite. God I swear it's good to be back home. Waiting for the newest Rolling Stone. All the other girls are still at war, the best and worst of 1994. Sometimes I see the half and not the whole, sometimes I see the face and not the soul. Sometimes I think this place has no part, for anyone who ever had a heart. This is your new things now. And it looks so good in print. Just a poet and her pimp but not quite. This is your new thing now. A prom dress and a sneer. The woman of the year but not quite. Not quite. Gee, its good to see a dream come true. People smile and bless all over you. Mixing up those latest junkieism and all the pretty terms of religion. And don't you love the leader of the band? Equal parts Butthead and Peter Pan. All the other kids are sad again. A legends not a legend till it ends. This is your new thing now and it makes the whole world spin. It's a least as old as sin, but not quite. This is your new thing now and now you're turning grinning, but maybe no ones listening, and you might lose it all my darling, yes you might. This is your new thing now. It feels so good to doubt you. I could almost live without you, but not quite. Not quite Not quite 5:07 p.m. - Tuesday, Jan. 13, 2004 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
