Für Elise
When I wanted to I couldn’t
I hung a rope inna closet like the Kung Fu guy
I turned onna oven but the element just got too damn hot
scorched my neck
Syvia P had more guts than me
When I had to, when I needed to
wasn’t no high enuf bridge
wasn’t no deep enough hole
wasn’t no snake-bit carny tent
Before my sis got took
she used to practice Für Elise
onna Casio ToneBank
I shoulda done it back then, maybe
I wouldn’t a lost her forever
that way-
to some de Sade wannabe
driving a white deadbeat van
to the DMZ
to the UAE
say I had a wish, into a fucking tree
