Soliloquy Cry

[serge gurkski]

for Holly

Solilo-
quy

Queue you why?
I cry to myself these days,
having messed it all up again.
I am so perfect on this,
I want a prize.

You can’t beat me on that.
But you may try
while I am fixing your Brandy Alexander.
I am the devil of course
(and mostly to myself).
But from time to time,
every now and then
I need a woman
just to feel like other men[/i].*

My lover’s standing in the line.
The girls queue up
and I am SO sorry to decline.

I will pretend
keeping out of mischief**
from now on
till in your bed again.

* Stole that from the lyrics of Mingus’ Devil Blues, which is worth to be listening to, too.

(Oh heaven: Jazz is my Zen)

This is to Jazz Candy Diana Krall's you call it madness
