" ...only to be rediscovered some years hence and acclaimed as a flawed but magnificent work of genius long after I have succumbed to a tragic, unrecognised and untimely death."

Short Stories

 



From: 'Pop Happenings Vol 4'

Lying on the Phone


Shall I teach you guitar?
Shall I make you coffee?
Shall we take the car?
Shall I take you shopping?

Can I know you
Better than I know you?
Can I see you
As much as I'd like to?

She's lying on the phone again
She's lying on the phone
Her feet on the chair-arm talking
Lying on the phone


Shall I clean your shoes?
Shall I buy you a present?
Shall I buy you clothes?
Drop my defences?

Can I touch you
As I want to touch you?
And will I see you
As much as I want to?

She's lying on the phone again
She's lying on the phone
Her feet on the chair-arm talking
Lying on the phone


With your coffee at hand and your magazine
And your hair wrapped in a towel
I'll be licking my lips because your lip-salve slipped
Can I join you in the shower
For hours and hours
For hours and hours
For hours and hours?
This moment is no one else but ours
