Analysis of THE PHONE BOOK VOL.2 or Oh, Elizabeth, did you have to get him started?
pink shirt, bold expressive
writer, self-assured
of himself and the world
waste not a tear on the past
for it obscures your vision
to the rainbows in your future
O' what purpose lies beneath
A heart that loves in certitude
To be torn asunder by fecklessness
It beats to rise above pettiness
And stand testament to perseverance
as always...to be continued...
