i'm done with girl in a band.
it didn't turn out like i hoped,
as they often do.
i know, it was precipitated on divorce,
and god knows i know how that goes.
but it started so fresh,
and then kind of got lost,
and i know how that goes,
but in art you hope
despite the evidence,
to keep on
elevating yourself,
and i wanted that girl
to be humble
and do that,
humbly elevate,
and bring me with,
but i think it got stale, the marriage,
and the fame stultified, though
it's only a moment in her time,
and in mine, and now one of us
knows the other better,
and will still listen.
