Unsatisfied Mind
What is this? A verse? A neural snap gone wrong? Snippet of a unresolved scene in a dream? Result of reading about latent lesbianism in Henry James' The Bostonians?
I want a hip flask baby
A conversation with the ghost
of Jeff Buckley
And to kiss the lips of a lady
who kneels five times a day.
I want her...
etc.
*probably some vaguely erotic interlude here - colour fucking or something equally non-bodily fluid*

Lyrics to Satisfied Mind by Jeff Buckley, because it is the complete opposite of what I am today, and because I mentioned his ghost.
How many times have you heard someone say,
"If I had money, I would do things my way."
But little they know, that it's so hard to find
one rich man in ten, with a satisfied mind.
Money can't buy back all your youth when you're old,
a friend when you're lonely, or peace to your soul.
The wealthiest person, is a pauper at times
compared to the man with a satisfied mind.
When my life is over and my time has run out,
my friends and my loved ones, I will leave there's no doubt.
But one thing's for certain, when it comes my time,
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind.
But one thing's for certain, when it comes my time,
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind mind mind, mind mind,
Satisfied mind.
I want a hip flask baby
A conversation with the ghost
of Jeff Buckley
And to kiss the lips of a lady
who kneels five times a day.
I want her...
etc.
*probably some vaguely erotic interlude here - colour fucking or something equally non-bodily fluid*
