re I like space (a sorta stupid song by mark)

[Guest guest]

Hi David,

 

I like your poem:

 

"I like space.

 

When you get too close

I space out.

 

I like space.

 

 

Don’t touch me.

Don’t hold me.

 

Don’t let me go.

 

I need your attention,

elsewhere.

 

Between you and I?

We’re way too close.

 

Farther than I imagined.

 

Get away from me

and allow us to envelope each other

into nothingness.

 

I like space.

 

I like

 

I"

 

and feel like riffing...

 

 

I'm like time,

 

No, not like spice,

although boys are nice

I'm like time

Well, in re-verse...

No, not like spice,

although girls are also very nice

I'm like time...

 

Well I should be terse:

I'm afraid to repeat her

She was a nurse... (If I were Bob Dylan, I'd go nuts here...)

 

I've been recruited

For a holy war

I don't want this job

I want so much more

 

I want some penguins and elephants

and I'd like some rice

I want some completeness

I want to be nice

I want to do a cover version of

Rupert Sheldrake's famous song about mice.

 

I've been recruited

For a holy war

I don't want this job

I want to touch more

 

I'm like time

Jumping from place to place

I'm feeling fine

(And I like space.)

 

 

 

Sorry, I hoped it would be a country and western song to complement

yours, but this is what came out.

 

LOve, Mark
