a new leaf in the paperback
semi-fragile, cuts no slack
scrawled all over, self-abused
screw it up this one's been used
drawings of some cutesy things
painful brick wall goes unhinged
pass the note along the desk
now you fail though that's your best
perkiness is wearing down
how majestic that thorned crown
beat comes in with loud guitar
no one now can hear them spar
thoughts are racing, eyes go wide
SMSing, yuppified
mate a greeting, curving lips
from then on its sour pips
yearning craving wanting home
but now the book is left alone
bent and crinkled, wet and creased
endangered myth sparkles deceased
