A Better Night (from "A Slip Of The Tongue")
I constantly think about writing you a letter
or an email. I want to know what you think about me now because I'd like to think that I have changed into a better man. when I stand in front of people reading poetry or playing music I think that you are out there among the faces and the words go on and on and on into the drone of my voice the instrument the mood until here I am again sitting at my typewriter my computer searching through technology and spirituality for a meaning to the past. I can type and type and type but where are you on nights when my creativity is a wild lightning storm tearing through this desert? did I become this terrible person that you warned us all about? did I betray the words? the music? the heart? yes I did betray you it them to find myself. but I'd still like to write you a letter because I'd like you to think that I have changed into a better man.
