Crooning

I could be smaller, but I’ve been to Paris, the night. You will never find me alone, by a sunken ship—the wreckage, is too. I could have been a troubadour, left to be wild with fury. I won’t settle for homogeny, why, throw me in the pits! Let there be only a black black way by which I am thought about. Here, only dust, there, a goose egg.
