La Vie Bohem--Rent
(Original Motion Picture)

To days of inspiration 
Playing hookey, making
Something out of nothing
The need to express- 
To communicate,
To going against the grain,
Going insane, going mad

To loving tension, no pension
To more than one dimension,
To starving for attention,
Hating convention, hating pretension
Not to mention of course,
Hating dear old Mom and Dad

To riding your bike,
Midday past the three-piece suits
To fruits - to no absolutes- 
To Absolute - to choice-
To the Village Voice-
To any passing fad
To being an us for once 
Instead of a them!!

La vie Boheme

Artist in the Ambulance-Thrice

Now I lay here, owing my life to a stranger.
And I realize that empty words are not enough.
I’m left here with the question of just,
What have I to show except the promises I never kept?
I lie here shaking on this bed, under the weight of my regrets.
