So should I pretend:
Shall we just play clowns,
Paint our faces red,
Smiles just made up frowns?
Swallow what you sell:
This forced smile I see,
An existential,
Pompous piety?
In any weather:
Wave my arms in time,
Hands tied together,
Matter over mind?
Dangle from the sky:
Chilly dungeon chains,
Laugh like getting by,
Red-shifting the pain?
In the laugh forget:
Man dressed as boy?
This just leaves regret,
My life lost in joy.
I can't just believe:
This what I've never seen,
Smiling faith is not me,
Only sadness is real.
I know you fake it sweetie:
Lying is when your lips lift.

'Swallow what you sell:

That's amazing.Was this written in over a gin and tonic ain a dimly light corner of a bar?
If not can you just say it is?
You know in the memoirs.
