"Deliver Me From Decency"

I am writing this blog to force myself to write. It’s something I’ve been meaning to do for ages, but little things like life kept getting in the way. There have been plenty of periods when I did no writing at all, and felt no inspiration to do so. Then there were moments I felt the inspiration, but not the inclination. Those are the times I would turn to not actually writing, but rather, reading books about writing. That would get me going for a short while, then life would bully its way back into my, er, life, and the writing would once again be pushed aside.

Deliver Me From Decency

It pleases me to work with my hands
But I won’t tell you what I’m doing
A telephone call from Andy
Focused my thoughts on beauty
My work falls short of martyrdom
Why stop at dessert?
There’s more to come

Deliver me from decency
Amplify my secrecy
Let’s get swirly
Constantly surprised
By the persistence of existence

I’m not in tune with the current scene
I hear the words, but don’t know what they mean
The zeitgeist has left me behind
Poking around in my mind

Deliver me from decency
Amplify my secrecy
Let’s get swirly
Constantly surprised
By the persistence of existence

I have nothing to add
No more to say
I’ve done enough damage for one small day

Deliver me from decency
Amplify my secrecy
Let’s get swirly
Constantly surprised
By the persistence of existence

"4 Me"
