Green enough

Is my lawn green enough ?
Is my hair thick enough ?
Is my bike fast enough ?
Is my bank account fat enough ?
Is my career advancing enough ?
And then I saw your scattered young bodies adrift in an ocean of death, and the answer was, ashamedly, yes.

Oct 29, 1981

My heart beats on, everfast
And time is lost to me
For I have fallen in her trap
As I would wish it be

My senses rise, flame and fire
For why, I've never heard.
Eyes that promise deep desire
Wanting to be burned.

But soon enough, the heat is quenched
The fever's gone for sure.
And even though my heart be wrenched,
For me there is no cure.
