Jangle Omega from Jangle Omega by Other Houses

Wanted on the edge of the freight
hollering the hall
for the record that waits
and smiling anyway.

Out on the banks of the Lethes,
a rocker requires a reprieve.
Will they run my heavenly piece?

Honest to error, goddamn intellectual,
I wanted out of my hide and to roll the town.

“Confirm it," I said to my gal
in the absolute agony eye
of confirmation by the guys.

Say "I’m dangerous in my tastes,
at Elsie’s with Emily’s friend,
as a not-quite-dimensional man,
and I lap at the lake like a kid,
for water in waiting cupped hands, smiling anyway."

Now I hold my mic stand
o'er the empty floor
and smiling anyway.
