One Too Many Muses

One too many muses

I've got two

One who's kinda bluesy

One who's stuck on you

One who's shy and lonely

One who bought new shoes

She's so thin and bony

The other one can't lose

One who rails cacophonous

and sets her toe on line

One who rises with the sun

and loves the spring's bright light

One who takes you to a cliff

and drops you off the edge

and so does visit bitter blight

on our new age sagesse

One who dreams of weekend bliss

and mornings spent in bed

with late late nights and dal with rice

that spicy taste of sin!

One who calls and one who comes

Expectation/mirrored awe

Riveted/spirited, psychopath/limited

God... and human after all

She hands me the punchline

like so much melted butter

I give her a smiley face

and lift her from the gutter

"It's another dark day..."

"But the sun is shining!"

"It's another ace of spades..."

"But goddammit you won!"
