09. Not One of the Guys

Folder: 
05. 21 (07.24.08)

My throat is fairly deep.

Women invade my sleep.

Adventure's in my heart

And I long to take part,

Yet despite what underlies

I am not one of the guys.

I study their movements, take in their actions,

Observe how they organize in factions

Of camaraderie and brotherhood,

Yet by now it's quite understood

I am not invited.

I drive past slighted,

Existing in this place I can't explain,

Rooted somewhere between pleasure and pain.
