I think this would make a halfway decent punk rock song. What do you think?
Why? (Ode to Ron and Melba)
Why… do I hate you so
You are in my head
You are in my brain
Just can’t let you go
Why… can’t I stand the sight
Of your face at all
When I think of you
I confine myself… inside
Why… do I play into
The games you play
Still I make my move
Losing ground to you
Why… can’t I just let you go
Can’t I just let you go
Can’t I just let you go
Why…
Why… can’t I just let you go
From my mind
From my hateful mind
Why…

Was is the key word here

jumped over that hump
Don’t you just hate hatefulness? Some people make hatefulness their main defensive mechanism and they are constantly on the defensive. Why is “just letting go” so difficult sometimes? Seems like it would be easy (that is, unless you’ve hung yourself up in a place to high to drop from)
Hey Andreas,
This is Stacey (sylvette_99). I do enjoy this piece so. It seems like something to sprint to. With my ipod. That I don’t have. And I don’t run, unless a bear is chasing me.
Yeah, they really put a lot into those superbowl commercials. The half time show with Paul was good.

Dear Andreas,
I’ve already read the poem, so just will say hi, since I haven’t visited in a while. I didn’t realize Lisa is such a fan, but now that I remember real closely, you do visit her site often, I’ve seen your profile photo there in comments. (As on my group, I’m always “late to the party” for some reason answering posts there, or commenting on Xangas. I always love it when I’m a “first commenter” for that reason)
I still like the poem a lot, upon second or third reading too.

Love the new graphic, it adds to the punk rock vibe.
I LOVE your poetry/songs. There’s not a whole lot of poetry that I relate so well with, but I do with yours. Keep it going! You’ve got talent babe!
