Let each Day be a brick
A brick placed in the wall
The wall inscribed with words
With words only for me
For me you were the hope
The hope I’d love again
Love again you fool
You fool brick wall of words

Soaked in and wrung out as the Sun at day’s end

With only the scorched skin to show

Hands up and head back, to laugh is the key 

At best and at worst, I am faced to know 

I 

Amuse 

Me

I’m a mail-order bride
Don’t get me wrong
But you know dating
Is a too-tragic song
From far away to there
In sixty-seconds flat
White dress, bare feet
Golden Boy, beat that

The Trouble

In benevolent disguise

The mighty workhorse sets out to tarry 

With trouble to cause and pain to promote 

So much static you don’t know the difference 

Between assent or enslavement

Surrender or defeat

Within the deep green foliage 
I see colors promising
To burst up through the day’s wreckage 
And say that all’s okay
But I’m telling you 
I tell myself
All they are 
Are liars

Be my DJ baby 
Spin what you know slays me
Play no well-worn grooves
Compel all my moves

Latin if you please
Rock my world with ease
Soul will find its way
New Age and I may

Now -I don’t mean maybe
Be my DJ baby

Some fine day
One lucky mate
While others clutch their pints
We’ll set a spell
Watch, then walk on by 
Into the green
Arm in arm
Click our heels 
There’s your magic
