I graduated from my grammar course
but sometimes I think I’m downright
idiot: the house is not a home, I know,
and I’m a fan of Barry Manilow
(He looks like my uncle; I’m not sure about my dad
missing him is not what can make me sad)
but I am puzzled how I kind of
mix proper nouns with hazy adverbs
love becomes a bed and a pair and
a ten-minute affair,
and sin is known in a thousand euphemisms
metaphor, language signal and semaphore
(please, can I have a coffee and some camphor?)
my head starts to ache, linguistics is getting
harder to interpret
(what do I know about Friendster and friends?)
the man beside me is distanced million feet:
he in tuned with Amazing Grace, and I with iPod: Black-Eyed Peas
Peace. Somebody whispered peace, and what he got is pierce.
grammar goes wrong, but who knows he may be right
I think I’ll leave everything behind, and
dig the pearl he hides. (Who cares about my grammar?)
I care about eternal life.
