The Sundance Kid

and me
I failed to understand
that I’m a
shadow of your man
you found a debutante
worthy of epic denouement
a foil flattered by the inattention
the sundance kid
who needs a life
when there’s a life
who needs you?
and me
I failed to understand
that I’m a
shadow of your man
you found a debutante
worthy of epic denouement
a foil flattered by the inattention
the sundance kid
who needs a life
cold cocked by laxity
anthropologic scrutiny
could you indulge me in this one convention?
I’m standing by to light your cigarette (that was my cigarette)
and burn your castle down
left my life alone (moving toward you)
tried to find a home (I adored you)
soon I was to find (waiting for you)
home it wasn’t mine (what else could I do?)
