FOREIGN RELATIONS

Where do we stand beside the obvious
where do we go once we've been to Hell
it's time to kill the beaten path
it's suffered long enough
I didn't expect this much
how dare I ask for more
it's as easy as two left shoes
three bricks in a pillowcase
just in case my voice fails to move you
so this is how it ends
in numbing silence
all our words amount to "goodbye"

- Marvin Scott Marvin, 1995
