GEORGE RAFT WAS SWELL

I tried to write you but there was 
a George Raft movie on T.V.

He was one swell actor.

He couldn’t act at all.

If he really was a swell actor 
(I was just lying when I said he was)

would it have been easier to write you?

Yes, because I enjoy pain more now than I used to, 

since you decided to park your butt on a star in the sky 
and I can only see you at night when it isn’t cloudy 
in my heart, which these days is mostly in the sky.

Yes, it would be.
