ePoetry
(Young: Albuquerque)

e
Well they say
Dsus2
you can't play
e
with their literature
D
that way
e
But I got time
G
to roll a number
A
and boot my Mac

G | e | Dsus2
o ePoetry


I've been flying
through the code
Words are starving
to loose their hold
independent
of the paper
they have known

o ePoetry


So I'll stop
when it runs
on a mobile
as a game
I'll find somewhere
where they don't care
if it's a book

o ePoetry
