Another Notebook, a Blue One, or Man from Beirut
Here's what's in an old blue notebook. I know I should throw them out. They are chaotic piles underneath my desk
Man from Beirut
on 102nd and Lex
we are strangers in a restaurant
he says to me
the first CD I ever bought
I was living in Beirut
it was Billy Joel
Oh My God
Billy Joel
can you imagine
I loved him
in Beirut
and I still do. Love
said the strange man
in the restaurant
love doesn't change.
Not in Beirut, anyway.
