Henry Jamison - Reading Days
Reading DaysOn the fainting couch, that's Monica flare for the dramatic oh, so it goes
and in the kitchen there, that's Leonore
who I adore, whether I should or not well I don't know
and reading the Marquise of O
on the balcony, that's me
Walking in the garden, with Penelope she says ""you may kiss me now,
no one will see""
I say ""my heart is another's and that makes me free
besides I have a hard-won faith in the eternal Sophie
you think I'd just throw it away, for a little TLC?""
and reading the Answer to Job has been good for me
I was just a narcissist, a solipsist, a fantasist in that old house down by the sea
and reading the Marquise of O
on the balcony, that's me
