Poseidon

by Twan - Aries

Maybe it's just a little late
Maybe tonight isn't my night
and it's all tucked away
for no analysis or insight
Spread your legs like a trident, and your wings like a dove
Not my place to fill you full of MY love.
Sore loser I become briefly because I don't qualify
I know something you don't know: I look mean but I'm shy
Slam the door on the way, your disappointment is comical
The chances you'll be coming back---right---astronomical
Poseidon's giant hand slams down on my heat
to the imaginary jeers of the crowd I'll take a seat

But there we are, once again
To find out what it's about
to dance, socialize, and maybe even fuck
and for a minute quash the doubt
Confidence is a virtue, but up against the vanguard
I have, and play liberally, my only trump card
Water dashes me against the rocks
you be hackin
Stop with the elliptical language, please
I'm not trackin'

Will it get done?
Whatever I want to do
And what makes you so sure
It should be with you?

Wasted time with bullshit
Let's go up to the park
but I beg off
because I'm somewhere in the dark

I deny the opportunity
I seek the perfect one
I wouldn't really know who it is
if you put to my head a gun

and the Trident makes its mark
and the balloon begins to deflate
and if I don't get away from here soon
I'm going to be late.
