SYD BARRETT AVENUE
It’s one
that I’m still
having trouble
sorting out
my friend is
all wounded
because his girlfriend
was cheating (not with me)
which, of course,
is a perfectly natural
response to the matter
but it gets tedious
when he tries to act
like this is some
singular horror in history
I point out
that he cheated
on both his first
two girlfriends
and he tries
to play out
like this is somehow
different from that
but I ain’t buying it
for a New York minute
that it’s any different
what goes around
comes around
and sometimes
it really smarts
but if we don’t regret
our own sins
we really shouldn’t condemn
someone else’s sins
that sort of hypocrisy
doesn’t seem to get us
anywhere we need to go.
