Fifteen minutes
Posted: January 19th, 2009, 4:11 pm
On the brink of sink,
when the bells are chiming,
and the earth is moving,
with impassioned voice,
we huddle on our street corner
unable to see.
Don't have a tv.
We hold our hands out,
to people still on their feet,
awash in conversation,
bout how life is gonna be sweet,
dirty blankets keep us warm,
food's a dream.
Belief's a movie theme.
Lady with a camera interviews me,
makes me a star for charity,
bust my buttons and ooo whee
a taste of what it's like
to not be me.
Fifteen minutes of wealth.
Then I go back to bein myself.
