IF YOU WANT TO USE THE WORDS
FOR ANY REASON
TALK TO ME

MONOLOG

the way nights in the south used to be

another night in the dark hot wet
air filled with simmering body sweat
sticking to everything that touches skin
the answer burns somewhere within
reaching for reference without memory
back to a time before electricity
this is the way it used to be
the way nights in the south used to be

stepping into the cooler water
getting used to the mildew in the air
making sure we drink a lot of clear water
trying to remember how much we care

and caffiene tells the brain that the body is dehydrating
and it will not let the body slow down and cool down
yet so many do not care about this fact
they are addicted, just like smokers
every drug addict wears the same frown
when their drug's not around

and the candles burn to add more heat to the air
and the long pants and sleeves are sensless to wear
maybe it's discomfort with body or nudity
or sensuality
can a drink really set you free?
still it is a choice to be
hotter than one needs to be

stepping into the cooler water
getting used to the misty morning air
making sure we drink a lot of clear water
trying to remember how much we care

another night in the dark without power
in the sultry southern heat and humidity
it gets too hot to sleep sometimes
and there is no comfortable place to be
so I take refuge here in rhymes
with no phone, no light, no radio or TV
this is the way it used to be
the way nights in the south used to be

NOTE: Due to excessive comment SPAM, comments have been turned off... ironically, this month is the renewal for supergold membership and the comments feature... bad timing... you know how much I love feedback, so maybe there's be comments again one of these days... until then, please leave a note... thanks J




I love you all for coming... for reading all these words
for every click feels like more love (I know that sounds absurd)
if I could only tell you... one thing more tonight
I'd say
I wish you could come home with me and be my friends for life
