I'm dying, dying, dying

Crying inside.

I want to run and hide

Inside

Of a bottle.

I forever feel

Like "Rudolfo on the balcony"

In a Walker Percy world.

When can I stop the pain,

The lying, crying,

Dying?

Author's Note: To Walker Percy, and "The Moviegoer" the 1961 National Book Award..... also the way that I feel.
