Circling the Circumference

All around the alphabet To hide a sadder tale of someone sad at Circling the circumference Show me the way from the periphery But everybody is wrapped In a warm embrace With their arms around the answers While i'm wrapped up In my own rigamarole because I can't have that in my life But soon I'll find I won't have that in my life Right or righteous? – i can't say Another day, another dilemma Don't have the time, thirst, wish, itch Or urge to fit Or that's my story and I am Stuck with it! I can't have that in my life But soon I'll find I won't have that in my life You're deep in conversation Where you really swim And in the shallow water I'm the first one in A straight-forward answer Is out of the question Why her whole body joins in In the way she smiles but It's all too much of a muchness for me I can't have that in my life But soon I'll find I won't have that in my life I'm the man who missed a sitter The pearly-gate crasher The king's new clothes hanger Skeptic kind of sucker Straight man gone solo Drunk or canned laughter I'm sorry - What was the question again?
