2004-01-31 | THE AMERICAN DREAM

someone said i should write more poetry, so i'll put a couple creative writing thingies on this diary. REMEMBER. If you want to see ALL of my songs and poetry, go HERE

i'm making this next thing up off the top of my head, so i apologize if it's not that good:

STAYING UP LATE AT JON'S HOUSE

I'm sitting here trying to experience the goodwill towards men

While the voice of Elliott rings in my head

the dagger in my chest is to remind me not to fail

and to remind me that my gifts are more powerful than what ails me

i let some good thoughts slip into my head tonight

i imagined having a talk show late at night

it wouldn't be in hollywood or in a studio with hot lights

it would be in my house where the mood is just right

on my show there will be no jugs and no drugs

but it will be acceptable for 2 men to hug

It won't be acceptable to frown or lie

but it's okay to smile and cry and to laugh until you die

I'll invite all the guests who have the most fun

we might even harbor some fugitives who are on the run

Tommy Chong'll be my sidekick and Mumia Abu Jamal my announcer

And I'll hire Dusty Rhodes to be my bouncer

The musical guests will make you forget your sorrow

and each show you watch will make you yearn for tomorrow

i'm always ashamed to have people come into my home

but maybe with famous friends i won't be so alone

for now it may be just a dream

but maybe it's not as crazy as it seems

as my vision starts to dissipate i hear elliott again

and i'm sorry that he kurt, brad and chris will never be my friends

i felt like i loved them and knew them so well

but they all had a craving for a small taste of hell

it's a shame we will never meet

but on my show i'll always save them an imaginary seat

blood is thicker than the hair on Garp's arms

but i do my best to stay out of the way of bodily harm

life's not fair because they're not here

but there's so much more good to sift through out there

i've succumbed to true romance because i'm tired of falling down

i'd rather be a sellout than overexert while trying to frown

if you believe i can make it, than you're invited to the show

if you made it this far then you're probably in the know

i guess if you've never understood me you shouldn't start now

i make the fun decisions naturally, so I can't show you how

we're still alive, so let's make it worthwhile

let's make love with the art while our brains are still fertile
