If  we're talking about  love, Then  I have to tell  you
 Dear readers:  I'm not sure  where I'm headed, I've  gotten lost  before
I've  woke up stone  drunk face down  in the floor
  Late  afternoon the house  is hot
I  started,  I jumped  up
Everyone  hates  a bore,  Everybody hates  a drunk
This  may be a lip invention
Professors  muddled in their  intent
To  try to rope in followers
To  float they're  malcontent
As  for this, reader,  I'm already  spent
  Late  afternoon the house  is hot
I  started,  I jumped  up
Everyone  hates a sad  professor, I  hate where I  wound up
Dear  readers, my apologies
I  drifted in and out of sleep
Long  silence presents  the tragedies of love
Look  the age, get afraid.  The surface hazy with
 attendant thoughts
A  lazy eye metaphor  on the  rocks
 Late  afternoon the house  is hot
I  started  a chapter. Everyone  hates  a bore
Everybody  hates  a drunk. Everyone  hates  a sad  professor
I  hate  where I  wound  up, I  hate  where I  wound  up
