THE ONE YOU'LL NEVER GET

This is the one you'll never get

written this empty day.

Suddenly, the world dissolves in tears,

not dewdrops.

This is the one I had to write

to stop going out of my head;

Jumping off another cliff

when I'm getting too old to fly straight.

This is the song you'll never hear,

an unfamiliar tune meant only for

The crazy one wandering through ...

RW, 30.XII.84.
