The Blues of a Reluctant Outsider

i pass by daily
saying hello but saying nothing
the magic lamp never works
when she finds another as a result of the monotony of me,
the view of the unrelenting sun in the middle of the mirror burns my eyes with truthful rays of blame
i take it all like a man because obviousness itself knows i definitely deserve it
i sneak by constantly
becoming that quietly crazed lunatic on the other side of the side of the gate
george strait strait says you look so good in love....and so do i....
