the gossip
is far more interesting than the truth
the rumours
and the image
is never me

it is funny
how a so called left wing liberal
who apparently is –
the rage against the machine

i did not feel –
what they said was there
no dropping of a dress size,
no flick of the hair

why do we plunge head first
into waters we know nothing about
become lost never found

if i could the person inside
and banish those ghosts
if i could find what i glimpse
banish the shadowy hosts

actually admitting –
there is no chance
is like the best evening
and the end of the last dance

i try to reach you
but the further i reach
the more the closeness –
we once had, starts retreating

never –
really said –
what i meant
it is why true voice
remains unkempt

is this what you mean
i see –
you claim to have normality
down to a tee
