Dear Amelia

Dear Amelia
Is the joke on the rest of us?
Were you laughing at the instruments
That said that you were
Nowhere at all
Dear Amelia
Did your Electra let you down
And when all that metal hit
Tell me, did you miss your
Ticker tape parade
Your name in the news
Again?
Did you finally find a lover
Who wouldn’t sell your name?
The deep blue invitation
Written on the South Pacific waves
Amelia
Amelia
When the steady glow of the
Dashboard lights
All wnt black
