used to be tunes to listen to
not a descriptor of a girl,
but now I’ve met the genuine article.
Tame the Blues (poem)
(by Daniel R. Jones)
Behind deep, dark eyes,
It’s sad, but true:
tame the blues,
before the blues
tame you.
The starting line
is staggered;
you were
born behind.
So long
as you’re still
running,
you’re doing
fine.
