Burning . . .

Do you mean you were just lying there?

Out of reach of anyone who cares

They have bound you with their loving arms

In the distance I still hear you sound the alarm

Can you see yourself more clearly now?

As if you stepped out of a cloud

Beginning when it seems to end

Above below merging

Your mind doesn't feel

Your fingers don't think

Your eyes do not touch

While the heartbeat goes skipping away

It's now and then you're living

While you wait start the giving

Prove it it's always there

Burning grey without its flare

Obligated but one hand is tied

Constant chattering within your mind

How to leave it no one cares

To hear the silly language spoken there

There's a love that empties its own veins

As they spend they fill up again

The flow traffics through eternity

Carries on in all purity

Now you feel and you think

You see and you touch

With a matrix that springs from your heart

To your hands through your head

Burning grey

Alternative . . .

. . . grammar doesn't exist EITHER. . .

(http://thewritepractice.com/how-to-use-either-neither-or-and-nor-correctly/)
". . . My mother . . . bought me the book I Judge You When You Use Poor Grammar. (By the way, it is equally correct to say “bad grammar.”) . . . Either is always paired with or, and neither is always paired with nor. If you are matching either and nor, I hate to break it to you, but you’re doing it wrong. Additionally, nor is generally not used where neither is not also used. . . example:“I fear man nor beast!” Jay proclaimed as Frank stared at the python coiled on the branch over his head. (Wrong.)
“I fear neither man nor beast!” Jay proclaimed as Frank stared at the python coiled on the branch over his head. (Right!) . . . Either is used when you are making a comparison between two ideas, and only one of the ideas will come to pass. Example . . . “Well,” said Frank, “either you start fearing, or you are camping by yourself.” . . . "

More Facts . . .

. . . to IGNORE . . .

(from http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-paris-agreement-science-research-wrong-misunderstood-latest-a7768296.html)
". . . Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) officials have said US President Donald Trump badly misunderstood their research when he cited it to justify withdrawing the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement. . . "Even if the Paris Agreement were implemented in full, with total compliance from all nations, it is estimated it would only produce a two-tenths of one degree Celsius reduction in global temperature by the year 2100 . . . Tiny, tiny amount." . . . The Cambridge, Massaschusetts-based research university published a study in April 2016 titled "How much of a difference will the Paris Agreement make?" showing that if countries abided by their pledges in the deal, global warming would slow by between 0.6 degree and 1.1 degrees Celsius by 2100. . . "If we don't do anything, we might shoot over 5 degrees or more and that would be catastrophic," said John Reilly, the co-director of the program, adding that MIT's scientists had had no contact with the White House and were not offered a chance to explain their work. . ."

(from http://www.cbsnews.com/news/john-kerry-trump-decision-abdication-of-responsibility/)
He (John Kerry, former Secretary of State) accused Mr. Trump of "unilaterally walking backwards from science and backwards from leadership on behalf of polluters and fringe ideologues," and said it "may be the most self-defeating action in American history."

Call . . .

Taking in my daily sustenance down at my local Scottish restaurant
When I noticed that my entree was more than I bargained for
Look what I got
The manager said there was compensation coming my way
But not today

Don't call us
Don't call us
Don't call us
We'll call you

Aunty Lynn said it would be a sin to waste my precious vocal expertise
So I took me to audition down at the prestigious theater called the Ritz
Producer man was nice as he could be
He said I was fine
But not this time

Don't call us
Don't call us
Don't call us
We'll call you

Seems I've been hearing the same thing since I don't know when
One with a little less confidence might just give in
I'm no one's fool unless I want to be
Life can be cruel
Won't someone please just call me

At the end of just what seemed to be a perfect evening just what did I do
Could it be something I said or didn't follow through
I wish I knew
We danced and dined
I even kissed your hand
Under a twinkling sky
I said goodbye when you cried

Don't call us
Don't call us
Don't call us
We'll call you

We'll Call You
