You're So Vain by Brooke White

edible

singer,
sing me.

you, alone up there
in your light

the stage   you
are the only one

i hear   things
i didn't know about you

but you--

you stand for
something

so much bigger
than yourself.

i watch your
shiny hand:

raise it to the sky.

i wonder
why you sing,   why you
open up your voice

your throat  to the world
to the wide old world

(you make me feel)
they

might hurt you, singer.

sing.

but me:
i always

keep you in the light.

(it is in my heart).
