Note to Self May 19th - Rick Barry

You had your new yellow raincoat on

On the sunniest day of the year

You removed before too long

Leaving both your body and your intentions revealed

You said, «Why'd you have to go and leave me like that?»

«Feels like I’m waiting forever»

«For someone to come and fuck away this loneliness»

«Sometimes the loneliness feels better»

I think you should get back to bed

Maybe take a pill, get some sleep if you’re able

'Cause it looks like you could use some rest

You got lines under your eyes from the lines on the table

And if your faith was your best parent

You’ve been recently orphaned

And adopted by vice and abandonment

For all things uncertain

And I’m leaving in hopes that this song

Does not have to be a requiem

For all things that you once embraced

May you leave sadness forlorned and perplexed to these fates

You said, «Why'd you have to go and leave me like that?»

«Feels like I’m waiting forever»

«For someone to come and fuck away this loneliness»

«Sometimes the loneliness felt better»

You had your new yellow raincoat on

It was the sunniest day of the year
