A Star is Born
There was a pretty girl,
with a pretty voice
and true words
singing.
Please understand,
there was a pretty song
and pretty words,
a young girl’s voice.
To be plain,
I’m pretty sure
there was a girl
and a song
and ancient truth.
In case you wondered,
everything
beautiful and horrid
is contained
in this
and, no surprise,
I have always
been old.
Happy or sad, there is no
such thing
as time.
Only pretty girls
singing pretty songs
with all the pretty words
