My Cynical Heart
Wish I could write you a song of love and
ask. “Why don’t you ring me anymore?” But
that’ the line of a song I heard many times
before. Recall tunes from the fifties, when
I thought that our rulers were the good guys
in white hats and life was simple, but those
songs are banal now, yet I used to sing them
with joyous heart finding the lyrics lovely,
those days when I believed in the Reader’s
Digest and what the papers said
Wish I could write you a song of love and
sing: “Rose Mary I love you, I love you with
all my heart” That’s from a musical and are
corny now, like when I told a taxi driver, in
New York, that I was a commie, he laughed
said he was a FBI agent too, we had a drink
in a bar next door to an expensive shoe shop
on the fifth avenue and got to drive his taxi.
Wish I could write you a song of love, but
my cynical heart lacks conviction.
