To Juuhachigou, with no regrets:

i'd offer words of wisdom

if i thought that you would hear them

and i would man the lifeboat

if i thought that you would care

i could sit between the lines

and watch you toy with synonyms;

will it take you long to find the ones

that redefine your rage?

you could have the greatest plan

and write it up to get it down

and you could keep your secrets, then,

when no one wants to know

you can step half in your boat and stop

to flick off center shore, while God

rolls by on rollerblades,

… Heavenbound,

and laughing fit to kill.

so if words could make you dance, i'd

make you dance, and dream

that dreamers leave their tracks in skies to follow,

like a cheesy melodrama

where the pain defines the stars –

if we pretend to be the

subjects we can wish upon ourselves

like idiots

and dream that nothing is the something

that we'll base our lives upon.

(will you miss me when you no longer

have someone to depress…?)
