"Far Removed"

by Jeph Johnson

 

Could I remove from this world
myself and a party girl
and go to another place
where things don't behave the same
and life poses up front
majestic and glorious
dancing distinctly
unique, not notorious?
As it stands
in the hands
of the life I live now
I'm distraught
at the thought
of finding out how
so obtain this ideal
or explain so it's real
I keep my pen active
so they know I still feel...
I keep fathoming desires
more realistic than the entire
world I've avoided 'til now
I let you down somehow
I let you down somehow
