Communication these days
Is with a "beep" or "ring"
Or with a tune that topped the pops,
Or even one from Bing!
ring ring ring it goes in my ear
my pet ant, bird, chuckles madly
Another mad monkey in the midst of this mad world.

The full moon hid behind a cloud
Reflecting a half-remembered year
Revealing those who are dear
drinking somber, nowhere-bound.
I feel terrible in my heart
I want the happiness, once again found

My city of lost souls
your opulence is now sterile
but my steps are more confident
if only thoughts could follow

Nice, I can picture ghosts, stuck on Earth, longing to pass on.
But um, New York, rather seems out of place here. Though that could be fixed if the setting was new York, where one might imagine many ghosts were indeed stuck.

maybe I'm losing my mind

"A fork" she said, "a fork, I need!"
"To pair it with this knife"
"For I have never eaten fish
With someone else's wife!"
"I've lived a bit
