Like an actor
Who doesn't smoke
But is smokin' for a movie
The way you hold me
Is no longer natural
It's no longer natural.
Like an old rocker
Singin' an old song of theirs
It doesn't mean
What it used to mean.
We don't mean what we used to mean.
Yes I'll miss you,
the way you twist your feet
the way you smiled at me.
This is not a verse, this is not a verse
for how I loved you.
[But compassion responds to catastrophe. See when BB King says "nobody loves me but my momma, and what if she might be jivin too?" that's CATASTROPHE! Every force in the world, cosmic, physiological, spiritual, moral is against you but you got one person in your corner calling you precious - momma - but what if she might be jivin'? That's CATASTROPHE. Even Sophocles of Antigone can't deal at that level.]
