Unpopular Music

Unpopular Music 

I want to tell you 
tell you a secret
you have to promise
not to hear it 

I’m in front of you 
with my emotions
under my clothes
I’m naked

I’m gonna play
unpopular music
I don’t want you
to sing along

I’m gonna play 
unpopular music 
don’t dance to it
you’ll break an arm

these young people
everywhere 
I love them 
in my own way 

I see them hurting
with questions
I know what they feel
but can’t explain 

how they need 
unpopular music 
to fill in lines 
without names 

how they sing
unpopular music 
it’s something 
they can’t explain 

just knowing 
needing to be knowing
something in the universe 
feels the same

Life of the ****

  Life of the ****   I love your body   I made a map that I study   there’s just one thing   that distracts me from loving   ideas haunt me   they take me out for shopping   through imagination   stretching endlessly   tell me what you’re building   behind those eyes   come live with me   in the life of the mind   we go from the streets   to penthouse high   but there’s something   more precious by design   enough parties   enough clothes   can’t spend hours   talking about sports   give me a novel or a film obscure my mind’s got enough   junk to last months
