A few entries ago I mentioned a song called "life: notes from your mistress", about which I'd said that I thought it had potential, but that it still needed a lot of work. Well, I got the chance to work on it some more today, and while I'm still unsure about it, it's decent enough to stick up here.

Okay, a quick lunch at the mom-and-pop Branko's shop before I trot off to class. There's a reason that place has been in business here for the past two or three decades.

will it be okay to just wait and see?
life: notes from your mistress
to the cereal I ate this morning:
your spill upon my art supplies
greatly displeased my groggy eyes
to the professor of lifetimes past:
would it that I could fight my sleepy haze
and follow you through history's maze
I ask for a lot, but only a little at a time
I just wanna get through this safe life of mine
to the sushi I ate for lunch:
three left in the tray
is three too many for today
to the heels I chose to wear:
I distrust the way you court my feet
and flood them with an aching heat
(but is it heaven's own sign
that you make me look so fine?)
I ask for a lot, but only a little at a time
I wait for things and try not to whine
my life in a day, life in a day
once begun is twice the fun
fall where it may, where it may
exotic spice in the cosmic dice
to the train ride back:
you're one in fifty grand score
give me a reason to expect something more
to the home I left in the morn:
I only need to get to bed
to rest under cover of burdens shed
things may be better or worse with time
but at least I've survived a day in this life of mine
