Inspired By…
It was taken out of context
Whatever your note meant
Because I know it couldn’t mean
Whatever you wrote
Whatever it is you wanted to say
Got lost in translation
In the synapses from your mind to your hand
Every letter on that page is some kind of mistake
Some unfunny joke the pencil tried to play
But how is it that every time I look at your chair
You’re not sitting there?
The smile you gave me was a little sad
And when I tried to blink it away
You were gone
I will wait here for you
Because I know you’ll be back soon
But my coffee’s gone cold
And the words on the page haven’t changed
I’m not sure about the lines “The smile… you were gone.” I feel like they need to be moved elsewhere. What do you think?

RIP, MCA.
Thank you for making great music and funny things.
You really ought to get the Beastie Boys Video Anthology from the real Criterion Collection, if you haven’t, already.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3ier6NNIl1qf1yxjo1_400.jpg)
