about

Originally from "Criteria For Being" (2018)

lyrics

for 24 hours you lived as someone else
your questionable choices affecting only yourself
seeing what it’s like to live
with robots and deluxe toilet paper
upper-middle class luxuries
like being suspended in skydiving chambers

to transcend your life
of stark disappointments
and picking up slack
for a temporary fantasy
of having a husband
who will have your back
through financial security
the safety net of joint checking accounts
as you pursue your artistry
he supports you to achieve
what you’re truly about

so you let your guard down
and acted somewhat rash
mainly concerning the feats you accomplished
while on your back
seduced by status and novel encounters
not to mention a stunning physique
the heat of the moment
repelled better judgements
of any cautionary technique

so now you’re back to your life
practical obligations and promises kept
when you weren’t mystified by
romantic delusions which left you bereft
so now you’ve got to decide between
penniless sitar players on whom you’ve relied
or on the other hand
the maharajah’s fantasy
which might just turn out to be
nothing but a lie
