My Finite and Fastidious Friend
This time, I shall follow my leader
This time, I shall not be alone
Such are the visions, sketched for myself
This time, I will obey his orders
This time, I shall gibber and moan
Mine are the destinies, etched on my pelf
This time, I will bend over backwards
This time? I hardly think so!
No, I remain here, stuck on the shelf
Last time? - I can barely remember
Last time, I gave up at the start
Beckettt behind me, and Kafka ahead
Last time, I was summoned by angels
Last time, I quickly lost heart
To behold highest heaven left me dead
Last time, I thought this time would be next time
Last time, I decided to go
Looking for visions, like the man said
