Once Upon The Future

from 9/21/2004

morning shivers move me with delight down the road with fright i can't tell if this is cool enough i can't tell if we're in school or not and you pressure me for answers i don't have i'm responding to the letter that i saw once in the paper she had green eyes and a yellow tapered dress to match i was too afraid to ask at that point in my youth but now as i've grown older i see this is a moment of truth i could hunker down as a coward and hide out in the shower i could find the basement and wait out the storm i could tell myself i need no one i could get a cellular phone i could i would but i won't morning shivers move me with delight i see your reflection in the toaster late at night and i have to wonder if your still dead i have to wonder why you lost your head and if it's ever growing back again tell me o wise one will i ever have children or will i even find a girl to put up with me the future's not a mystery she's just standing there and i can't see i'll carry on like a good wayward son i'll even put an ad on the television i'll try to catch what you've been sneezing i'll try to write what you've been reading but i don't want to make a promise i can't keep i never promised to answer every question you think of in your sleep i could i would but i won't
