Circling The Circumference

All around the alphabet

To hide a sadder tale of someone sad at

Circling the circumference

Show me the way from the periphery

But everybody is wrapped

In a warm embrace

With their arms around the answers

While I'm wrapped up

In my own rigamarole because

I can't have that in my life

But soon I'll find

I won't have that in my life

Right or righteous? - I can't say

Another day, another dilemma

Don't have the time, thirst, wish, itch

Or urge to fit

Or that's my story and I am

Stuck with it!

I can't have that in my life

But soon I'll find

I won't have that in my life

You're deep in conversation

Where you really swim

And in the shallow water

I'm the first one in

A straight-forward answer

Is out of the question

Why her whole body joins in

In the way she smiles but

It's all too much of a muchness for me

I can't have that in my life

But soon I'll find

I won't have that in my life

I'm the man who missed a sitter

The pearly-gate crasher

The king's new clothes hanger

Skeptic kind of sucker

Straight man gone solo

Drunk or canned laughter

I'm sorry -

What was the question again?
