Theme for Milwaukee

Another year

and still I'm waiting

for some 

high-strung silver star

to take me to where you are

and I know that it's bizarre

New York City

I've never walked a plank before

or found myself behind a door

naked and insane.

No.

Oh God,

The Midwest seems the oldest place

when mother's calling thrice a day

Yes, I'm still listening.

No.

I'm not.

Another beer

and still I'm shaving 

the same weird unnatural beard

that I've had since 7th grade

of which I am still ashamed

but not changing.
