There is no cure

We're not depressed...
we all have mostly valid reasons for being upset...
cut us some slack and gran out small demands.

---------------------------------------------------


Morning bright, rise.
Go over your lines.
Iron your carefully crafted disguise.

We'd all like to sing.
It's easy to sigh
to sprinkle a handful or plausible lies.

Our buildings will rise
poke out our own eyes.
Publicly smile and privately frown.

A weeping reprise.
Please hear my cries
I'd like to pull just this one building down.

So turn off the sky.
Head in my hands.
Night keep me warm.
White window-sill.

Blinded by heart.
Cut my hair short.
"Eyeless in Gaza with the slaves at the mill."
