John Lennon's Girl

written by: Robbie Masso

@robbie.masso

The radio played Twist & Shout.
I danced with the invisible dream.
I had to work up the courage
to lie about being social.

Her opinion matters to me
even though I hate her mind.
I’m settling.
My own company isn’t enough anymore.
Of Mice & Men, Lennie.

I was more outgoing in deja vu.
Cancer stick strength.
She puts out my cigarette
and starts the song over.
