The Hero Version 2

Jack idolized his teacher
A writer who never lied
But each one of his books
Were really plagiarized
			
They say never meet your heroes
That’s why all of mine are dead
Do your secrets keep you restless?
Steady shouting in your head

Jane met her favorite player
The nicest man in Pro Golf
When asking for his autograph
The player said, “Fuck off”

They say never meet your heroes
That’s why all of mine are dead
Do your secrets keep you restless?
Steady shouting in your head

James had to be a singer
His favorite band he heard
Led him to their concert
Where lips did not match words

TOUGH

TELL LIES
OMIT TAXES
UNDERSTAND NOTHING
GO PLAY GOLF
HATE TO WIN

TALK TOO MUCH
ORDER CHAOS
UNMASK AND INFECT
GOT NO BRAIN
HATE TO LOSE

TAYLOR (VERSION 2)

Two friends from far away
Stopped by to save my soul
One recommended Taylor Ham
The other a Pork Roll

Cleopatra captured Antony
She was his only view
The spell cast by her violet eyes
To Cassius they were blue

Six brutes in Abbeville
Went to prey and attack
A woman coming from the Church
They’d be free because she was black

Their friends did not care
That Taylor identified as “they”
It was either “he” or “she”
Taylor didn’t have a say

A woman went to the tailor
To get clothes sent from heaven
She was a size 16
The tailor called it 7
