if you're looking for hope and inspiration

go elsewhere

I've lived in the reality of this world

too long to kid you

and yes Virginia

there is no Santa Claus

nor forgiveness of sins

nor divine intervention

to save you from your fuck-ups

I waited on such things

and now I wait on

the dying moments

when birdsong soothes the ear

as the light fades

and the farce ends...
