Gordon Downie Chancellor
Seconds from pajamas I must
first open all the doors and the windows
and invite the vampire in to be one of us.
Then, in the guise of cool air, in the softer hours,
he's there,
sitting, talking in the voice of your mother
about leaving one good party for another
and the night of a thousand missteps
and the loss that made him dogged,
or it could have been the doggedness
that caused the loss in the first place, I guess.
-I'm discovering uses for you I thought I'd never find.
I could've made chancellor without you on my mind.
Crazy daisies and wooden stars,
the threat of oxygen on Mars,
marching armies in the night
smiling strangers riding by on bikes.
Children smoking, sloganeers on mics,
just a few things most vampires don't like.
-I'm discovering uses for you I thought I'd never find.
I could've made chancellor without you on my mind.
Before the dawning's first light
I must first close up all the doors and the windows
and try to trap that cool air to be one with us.
-I'm discovering uses for you I thought I'd never find.
I could've made chancellor without you on my mind.
