I look at the picture I know I shouldn’t It’s masochistic We were happy then, and I know that we are not now 22 words, so concise They don’t say too much You might think it’s nice How they don’t explain the hints that you’ve been leaving And I cannot pretend I know what’s going on in your mind Fact and fiction, liquid solid, nothing here that’s too defined The trees are bare, Oktoberfest Perhaps some beers, did you have their best? You’ve sampled all the wares I have to offer If my humble goods are no good for you Do your worst, say it’s through I don’t want to be on the leash that you’re leading And I cannot pretend I know what’s going on in your mind Fact and fiction, liquid solid, nothing here that’s too defined I’ll take another draft, the wind is cold, why do you stay outside? You make no sense, your picket fence crumbles on your neighbor’s side I’ve been pounding cobblestones I don’t know what I hope to find Not too drunk to think that you would ever cease to be unkind I’ll take another draft, the wind is cold, why do you stay outside? Fact and fiction, liquid solid, nothing here that’s too defined (And I cannot pretend I know what’s going on in your mind) In your mind In my mind (And I cannot pretend I know what’s going on in your mind) Are you mine?

The sun rises in a wreath of clouds over the bay October yields old warmth to crisp, cold lapping waves Still I cling to blankets of heat that you left behind Cold coverings, mildewed cobweb spine The ship’s in the harbor The ship’s in the harbor It will take you farther than near Here’s December, his leachy ice slipping beneath my skin Fall on my ass, the embarrassment’s thin January’s coming blizzards are burials for these flowers Flowers planted to warm me in the deepest freeze The ship’s in the harbor The ship’s in the harbor Deliver me cargo that will keep, my dear It’s in the offing It’s in the offing Offer me one last fire Autumn’s bounty in the harbor Autumn’s bounty in the harbor Autumn’s bounty in the harbor Autumn’s bounty in the harbor Autumn’s bounty in the offing Autumn’s bounty in the offing Autumn’s bounty in the harbor Autumn’s bounty in the harbor Autumn’s bounty in the offing Autumn’s bounty in the offing Autumn’s bounty in the offing Autumn’s bounty in the offing The ship’s in the harbor The ship’s in the harbor It will take you farther than near It’s in the offing It’s in the offing Offer me one last fire
