1/26/00
I ride the wave
It whipsaws me,
Up, down, and up again
Period unknown,
Amplitude undefined
Where will I be lead next?
My heart follows
Torn in two today,
Mended tomorrow
Only to be ripped again.
My life is on fast-forward
The drums pulse as I
Surge forward, 200 miles per hour
In the residential district
Of my childhood
I am Dow Jones
I ride the bull
The bear chases me
Up 150 points at market open
Down 60 at close
I am a captain,
A hapless captian
In a storm upon the sea
My ship’s taking on water
There’s nothing I can do.
She loves me
She loves me not
Come wave, wash over me
