To The Girl With The Long Brown Hair II
by Chris Sorrenti
I know the time will come again
When the fates will play our cards
Like a night time soap opera
With a thickening plot
Where the actors are also the audience
I've never tried to fool myself
As to having a sixth sense
Only a strategist with an eye
For the probable and the possible
No matter how incredible
The story may sound
Even the distance from the beginning
To the ending
And all the flowers that we planted
Only seemed to get uprooted
Unintentionally by us or by others
From episode to episode
The walls kept getting higher
With any ladders that we hoisted
To catch fire
As all around
The extras laughed
Scoffing at our production and direction
Telling us to bury the script
Unbelieving success
Could still be found between the lines
Of some new inspiration
If not in this world
Then maybe that of the next
