nightdreaming

nightdreaming

or, how to make friends & influence people

a poem by a Faust


who do you think you are, &

who would i be to that you?

leave me that door ajar, then

ask do you have this view


when people have spoken of luck

what they mean they'd rather not say

come knock me my own secret knock

then answer as if there's a way


torture is needlessly hoping

to benefit some from the pain

then from the hopelessness needing

some right to be happy again


beauty's true & truth is beautiful, not every one — perhaps

but to dally with the one is to let the other lapse
