Play Me

Someone in my life sings -
If you close your eyes
You would swear
(on your mother's grave)
Neil Diamond
Was holding the microphone
You don't have to pay $100
For this ticket
Just the gas money to the nearest
Karaoke
Bar
Upon bar
Tone
Upon tone
Senseless lyrics stalling intellect
Just for now
("I am I said")
And then that line about
The chair
He even has a fan club
A line of ladies
Sitting against the same wall
Of disbelief
