When I need a mentor, I know he is there.
I asked about art; he said, “because it is there.”
I don’t feel real, I don’t exist at all, I need
to check the mirror to see that I am still there.
That gold record, out on the satellite
will introduce us to alien life if it’s there.
Everything is derivative, modifying the already made,
it sometimes seems like originality isn’t there.
Laughing, you spilled your wine last night;
I scrubbed it with vinegar, but the stain is still there.
The doctor said no caffeine on these meds,
but then at work the girl’s brain isn’t there.
The doorbell rings in the middle of night,
I fear for a killer, but nobody is there.
A lot of people believe in a God,
but she can’t believe if nothing is there.
