It came back
Are you 'too much' again
or someone long ago gave not enough?
It seemed so
one more embarrassing time
as if all these instances when you were
too delicate, too outspoken,
too strong, too passionate, too joyful,
too 'artistic'
(as if that word meant anything
apart from not meaning anything more than
a 'cliche' to so many)
were not already too much for you
and then what can you do with all this?
gather it all, thought by thought,
carefully finish packing, memory by memory,
remember to smile before you leave,
open the door, skip taxi drivers,
walk straight to the bus station
sit down, headphones at hand
and just listen

and :
" ... so you can hurt me so bad
but i ll still raise the flag..."
then take it all out, in every note, bit by bit
and remember to smile
and thank the audience :)
(( my 2 gigs in Ipoh this weekend - can't wait :-))
