cheap imitation

R.


a beautiful woman
continues to haunt me

her face is mirror
that knows all the answers

I went to the dr
I bought some pajamas

I went to the city
which lied to the country


I'll tell you the facts
If you'll be with me tomorrow

I'll borrow you sometimes
let's see what happens


too many of you
are too many for me


will figure it out
on a Jet Blue coach breakfast

she's looking at me
pretend I'm nobody


I'm good at pretending
and also being nobody


can I have your phone number?
can you explain all my failures?

I think I don't really need love
just a cheap imitation.
