Wish I could write you a song of love and ask. “Why don’t you ring me anymore?” But that’ the line of a song I heard many times before. Recall tunes from the fifties, when I thought that our rulers were the good guys in white hats and life was simple, but those songs are banal now, yet I used to sing them with joyous heart finding the lyrics lovely, those days when I believed in the Reader’s Digest and what the papers said Wish I could write you a song of love and sing: “Rose Mary I love you, I love you with all my heart” That’s from a musical and are corny now, like when I told a taxi driver, in New York, that I was a commie, he laughed said he was a FBI agent too, we had a drink in a bar next door to an expensive shoe shop on the fifth avenue and got to drive his taxi. Wish I could write you a song of love, but my cynical heart lacks conviction.
