Confessions of a Phoebe


Never knew
never thought
had a dream-
chased it hard.

Not a worry
not a care
gulped more beer-
on a dare.

Tomorrow came
had a hope
flew some more-
on some dope.

Just unwind
dine and wine.
Dance, grind-
Nevermind.

Making out,
office calls
damn the cell-
Graham Bell.

Lead a life
different strife
someone's wife
could be gay.

I prescribe
diatribe.
Made a joke-
had our way.

More things change
more they don't.
change the world-
hell! I won't.

Didn't know why
didn't know who
didn't know where-
did we care.

Never known
never thought,
Another dream-
chase it hard!
