# two pints of mint chocolate chip ice cream My beautiful son, who can it be, knocking on my door, I�m a building that has two-thousand floors, locking out all my worries and my fears, Slapping them down --One hundred, --two hundred The timing / and structure / Can you hear them? They talk about us these Letters you've written your Weapons in hand being forced into this conversation And the circling, sucking sound, Slapping them down, I realize that I hate the sound of your guitars their plea of petition, a kind of prayer I keep forgetting how you made them so clear The poetry that comes from the squaring off between a thousand grudging young millionaires forcing silence, Tasting me As I bleed imagining that i am onstage under a watchtower of punishing light The timing / and structure / can you hear them? In your room, All the usual places, the same destinations, It's a kind of living which recognizes The death of the odourless man. so Open up and let me in, My beautiful son It is not madness That you have utter'd to tick things off, to say the things I haven't dared of Scattered seed, buried lives, Mysteries of our disguise I hold these letters in my hand. Finding beauty in the dissonance, I kiss your cold white envelope It's like I always told you and God only knows that I�ve tried You may need someone to hold you your world got smaller. It's not that you walked away, Say you'll talk about the horrors you've seen and the torment you know the games only your father knew The timing / and structure / of My, Beautiful son, My beautiful son, in a little while, if I�m still standing... Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines and junkyards and the highways Came between us In this world, It's been a while Since I said I'm sorry I'll take your invitation of course I'd like to sit around and chat One more time to kill the pain don't be afraid, it's only me, Mother when they mean, what they say that if you love me too, how what a wonderful world this could be =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To stop receiving future incarnations of this spam return: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=remove for partial annotation, try http://www.google.com/ love, douglas
