Stray Dogs

Dear Sir Alone,

Please find attached the crux of our issue that arose not so long ago. I do hope you fixed the beam, burnt the rope and consoled your wife that it was just a silly phase and that you are not actually in need of any serious help. If I may dare to suggest, a chat to the children explaining your attempted actions (and be that on record that thou forever shalt be known as only tempted), would be well in order. Once again I apologize for any distress I have caused you, but I must maintain my argument to which you are so seriously overreacting. Please take note of the following points:


"It's not bright or golden,
theres no bodies in deserts without flies.
It's neither fixed nor broken nor a pedestal above the
other blank liars.

"It's not an answer to the final answer that questions us all at the end.
nor is it an escape from all of the loneliest bridges
looking for a less than well friend.

"But what is it? What is it?

"Can we get a house dear with a garden that's nice?"
"Of course dear but naturally it depends on the price."

"That makes the ill sicker still,
the gambler lose all on a bet.
Those dead less forgotten,
and the lonely lonelier yet.

"All confounded and compounded by,
all confounded and compounded by,
the heads need to forget...


"What folly the heart has led it into.

"And it's not stray dogs finally finding a home that seems so right.
Nor will it make a single dove fly cos the last one has just flown home.....
can you blame him?
And it wont magically save you from all the fears of the night,
nor will it save you from dying, and dying alone.


"That makes the ill sicker still,
the gambler lose all on a bet.
Those dead less forgotten,
and the lonely lonelier yet.

"All confounded and compounded by,
all confounded and compounded by,
the heads need to forget...
the heads need to forget......

"That it's love and it hurts and it burns!
It's sick in its twists and its turns..
Oh it bites and it stings...
AND FUCK, YOU HATE THE WAY IT SINGS!

"In your ear at night, when your feeling just perfect,
with the coast in your sight.

"Shes coming over, drinks in hand..
and how could you ever think that any love is ever damned?

"To the dull brown lights of frozen meal eating, drop the kids at soccer,
come home to catch some Oprah and dream of the dream of excitement, purpose, meaning, fulfillment and......... love".

Yours truly,
surburbia.
