"POEM TO A HORSE"
You're too far to
bring you across
Too high to see
below
Just hanging on your
daily dose
And you never needed
anyone
But they're rolling papers for your
grass
How can you give
what you don't have?
You keep on aiming
for the top
And quit before you
sweat a drop
Feed your empty brain
with your hydroponic pot
You start out playing
with yourself
You get more fun
within your shell
Nice to meet you
but I gotta go my way
I leave again
Cuz I've been waiting
in vain
But you're so in
love with yourself
If I say my heart
is sore
Sounds like a cheap
metaphor
So I won't repeat it
no more
I'd rather eat my
soup with a fork
Or drive a cab
to New York
Cuz to talk to
you is harder
work
So what's the point
of wasting all my words
If it's just the
same or even
worse
Than reading poems to
a horse
You keep on aiming
for the top
And quit before you
sweat a drop
Feed your empty brain
with your hydroponic pot
I bet you'll find someone like
you
Cuz there's a foot
for every shoe
I wish you luck but I've
got other things to do
I leave again
Cuz I've been waiting
in vain
But you're so in
love with yourself
If I say my heart
is sore
Sounds like a cheap
metaphor
So I won't repeat it
no more
