Passerby
Hello to you,
You passerby,
You passerby,
You passerby.
Goodbye to you,
You passerby,
You passerby,
You passerby.
Why are her loves
Just passersby,
Just passersby,
Just passersby?
Why did you have
to pass her by,
you passerby- no- passersby,
and make her cry,
and say goodbye,
but never lie?
I’m tired of these passersby
who leave her dry
(and by her I mean me, and by dry I mean sad)
and are all our differences ReAlLY that bad,
if meeting me made you so very glad?
If world politics
and religious nit-picks
just didn’t exist
I would not be remiss
To say we could be frogs
that sit on a log
in our favorite bog
But we’re not-
We’re just specs
on a floating rock
who pay taxes on socks
(but actually not in Pennsylvania- there’s no clothing tax here).
But for what it’s worth,
before we met, I couldn’t remember the last time a man bought me dinner,
and that’s got to mean something… right?
To Be On The Record For The Good Of The Order:
I’m sorry, but I love you.
I’m sorry, but it’s true.
When you look at me
I play make believe,
and when you leave
I don’t even grieve,
because you live inside my head
where we’ve already been wed,
and we’re relaxing in our bed
discussing favorite books we’ve read.
The notion that a man could love me
needing not to ever touch me
may have been a fantasy,
yet one we lived (just fleetingly).
It wasn’t that you ever asked.
I wondered if you would, in fact.
I can’t stand the way
you walk away
from me
so easily
to kindly set me free
when I don’t really want to be.
I’m sorry, but it's true.
I’m sorry, but I love you.

Are there saints, and should we talk?
Does it matter which translation I bought?
Wearing white or wearing cream-
and does it matter what it means?
But the way I love you, and the way you love me-
I’d say it’s a very Godly thing.
Did Adam and Eve always see eye to eye?
Or did they just love ‘til they took to the sky?
