Cornfields Forever … Poem by Dennis Ryan

Cornfields Forever …

Sunday morning, May 19,12: 29 a.m.

'I'm torn in pieces; I'm blind and waitin' …
My heart is reelin'; I'm blind and waitin' for you …'
—Goo Goo Dolls, 'Big Machine', You Tube Music Video

'It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two'
—Lana Del Rey, 'Video Game', You Tube Music Video

Crusin' in the cornfields
standin' on the tops of cars
way back when; you and your
blonde hair fallin' every which
where and me still waitin' there—
for you, it's you, it's always you …
