IS SHE GOOD ENOUGH
You call me honey
You
call me dear
But terms of endearment
are
cheap I hear
'Cause
You call me sweetheart
You call me pet
But you always want to hedge your bets
You're always wondering - is there someone better yet?
Is she good enough?
Is she right enough?
Well baby I am bright enough
And I see the light enough
Well, maybe there's someone even a cut above
me
Who can give you even more to love
than
me
I know you wonder that
And baby
I've had enough
I've been sad enough
I've even gotten mad enough
This is more than rough and tough enough
for
me
'Cause I don't go
Maybe there's someone even a cut above
you
Who can give me even more to love
than
you
I know
You're more than flawed enough
No
one perfect
No
one ideal
Still I go
I feel enough
And there is enough
in
you
Except
You don't love enough
Your love isn't good enough
And that's the bottom line
baby
of mine
Terms of endearment can't patch over
That you keep giving me the once over
You call me honey
You
call me dear
But terms of endearment
are
cheap I fear
You don't love enough
Your love isn't good enough
And that's the bottom line
baby
of mine
More than tough enough
for
me

You call me honey. You call me dear.
But terms of endearment are cheap, I hear.
You call me sweetheart. You call me pet.
But you always want to hedge your bets.
Elsa's words music, rap, country, rock.
A dozen
years ago,
I began to wake up
with word pieces -
words music, spoken word, songs -
in my head.
Escape velocity.
Echo of the echo.
Tank almost empty.
Can't cross the gap.
Welcome into my world.

WORDS
MUSIC WORDS
Every
time I'm going
into the words not knowing
what kind of thing I'm doing
what is this thing I'm making
what are these words creating
words music longing
words music aching
words music loving
words music
Words
music, music words, rhythm beat,
spoken word, song,
words music, words beat,
rap poetry,
trip hip unhip unzipped
whispered, shouted, sung.
What is this?
spoken word poetry?
rap tap rhythm song?
Where do these words belong?
They don't follow song rules
so they can't be songs
Are some rap
with a rap beat?
Are some spoken word?
Some are to be sung -
country, trip hop, pop, folk, blues,
country folk, rock and roll, rap,
world beat, jazz, folk pop,
rhythm and blues.
words music words
rhythm beat strong
words to be spoken
words to be sung
words to be lived
moments
word music worlds
rhythm beat
What's cooking?
Whatever comes -
words alive
words strong
words music worlds
rhythm beat
strong
movement
words moving
words shaping
words taking
words trying
to catch life
to catch moments
moments like fireflies
one moment bright
next moment gone
words
words and rhythm
words to be spoken
words to be sung
words, sounds, music
word music worlds
words going on and on
like the beat of a drum
word pieces
piecing together moments
word music worlds
stronger
fainter
closer
and then
can't hear
they're gone
like moments
