A Girl Named "Oklahoma"

A Girl Named "Oklahoma"

Friday, February 17, 2012

I can justify myself
Now,
By the judgement of
Its fluidity.
If it's painful,
Well-

At least it
Tasted

Good.


These will have more staying power;
They will strong arm the pros
Of prior compositions
And

Give my disposition
A microphone
When you never did.

You never did.

So I'm taking my own;
Springing forth like you always said I would;

Dripping from my mouth
Are all the things bitter
That could have been the nectar

You recorded
And bound inside anthologies
Forever;

Gave you something to set your mind to
And your heart.

Now they'll be for someone else;

And I'll perfect the art
Of erasing
Every dream-

Tack to thumb

Bleeding it out;
Pulling it down...

I'll erase you
As quickly
As I placed you up on the pedestal
That you never deserved;

And I'll tell the story like
You
Were the tragic flaw in all of my
Plans.
