Useless

So I told you when I thought you were alone

How I loved you in this impossible beat poem

Of course I wrote it (most of it) especially for you

Of course I¡¯ll read it but there¡¯ve been others in my shoes

So I walked Egyptian canyons on my own

Strings of consciousness forget this sombre tone

And I¡¯m in trouble having missed another find

And every ruin has a different song inside

Making wishes on a vessel lost in time

Or maybe anchored in my Catalina sky

Casting overboard a useless poet¡¯s whine

I¡¯m just a denizen of rhythm, word and rhyme

So I wandered in the canyon all alone

Why I loved you in this impossible beat poem

Of course I wrote most of it especially for you

Of course I ruined it cause there¡¯ve been others in my shoes
