Step right up

Take'em down

Duckies in a row

Ping ping ping

Score!

(Big time)

Move on.

Victorian

Covert glances in public places
muted whispers and calling cards.
Restraining -
refraining -
waiting for your cue, your implicit nuance -
a hint of lust?
Never black and white (never hit it on)
Only smooth lilac, cream, and emerald.
We dance a painstaking masquerade in low-lit halls
as aquaintances and distant music meld
into the background of our
- Waxen Set-up -
Position Here:
Hand behind back, face behind fan, heart behind form.
Hair severe, rouge thick, lips closed.
Satins entrap heavy breathing -
Perfumes mask fervent feeling -
restraining
refraining
poised in a perfect tableaux
waiting for you.

Vehicle and Animals

It's the simple things like the robots Stevie G draws
and the ease with which we seem to pull those tricks.
There are moments of escape for every one of us
and the beauty in the times that we create.
I saw you smiling
and I need my vehicles and animals and I will be alright.
Take me back to nineteen-seventy-nine so I can find my open eyes.
He can play all by himself for many hours
I have never seen a kid who's so content.
There is nothing from the outside that can touch him
'cause he's just learning how to be alone with one.
Lying down on my bed Ijust got another kick to the head
oh yeah you're a part of me yet another branch on the family tree.
Slt on my fingers,salt in my cuts,salt on my face and salt in my guts.
I's been a battle but we've come through
okaytop what you're doing and play.
'Cuse we've got our vehicles and animals
so we're gonna be alright there's no need for us to go back in time.
Bcause we've found our open eyes
Weve got our vehicles and animals so we're gonna be alright.
