The Hedonist

There’s an elephant at our table
It’s my reflection in her tea
She is eager
shivering and nervous
Having just told me
Taking her hand  
I fake some fable
Something reckless wild and free
About the ones  
who claim to love us
They also think they own us
Me
I only know what feels right
Why be so uptight
I only know what feels right
Every man needs
his Indian Summer
So his life’s not a tragedy
Only the rich get to lie
among such flowers
You can sit beside me
I only do the things that are real
Taste touch hear and see
Don’t be a victim of
your own ego
You can learn a lot from me
I only know what feels right
Why be so uptight
I only do what feels right
I only know what feels right
Why be so uptight
I only do what feels right
