count yr blessings

count yr blessings y
cut yr losses

in twos then
in threes

lose yr keys y
bend yr knees

then

begin

praying

4

4giveness

for

forty days y forty
nights 2 git it
right

as rain

with

no more
pain is

how you
long to be

but nobody
seems to b

listening

it seems yr
wishes r
empty,

it seems those pennies
just lay at the bottom of
those wells without
being collected

it seems the stars
are falling ‘n
shooting

you in the feet

sos u can’t even
seem 2 run
away

...the sun seems extra hot today

is just the same as yesterday
and tomorrow will probably
be identical to today

is a day you wish you could wish
away but alas, you can’t

alas,

love is real- no, love is the only
reality and if you keep
avoiding it,

if you persist, insist, and continue
2 ignore her calls, her lines, her
whines, her pleas

then you will end up
just like this: on yr
knees- praying or
sucking- for an
eternity

now, we don’t want that
to happen, now do we?

didn’t think so- so go,
so run into the sun,
don’t worry bout gettin’
burnt, it won’t matter
where yr goin- it
doesn’t matter

what you look like,
what you did or
didn’t do (is all
that means a
damn thing) n

heaven- so run,
so go, so hurry!
quickly

godspeed

my lil’ darling,

godspeed.

and if you hear that pay-phone,
or yr pay-as-you-go telefono
ringing as you go

then answer it! damn it
all to hell, if she rings
yr doorbell

answer her! let love in,
let her in, and then
begin to begin

over and over again
with no end- yet
this time

it’ll be

a blessing

in disguise

is

still
a

blessing.

[‘n it’s nothin’ that no
doctor is going to fix,

just remember/don’t
forget it].
