about

An attempt to evoke images that weren't in the first-person. I tend to write in abstract fragments and this piece is no exception.

lyrics

He smoked a cigarette
She did a pirouette
And waved at every passing car
He touched her swollen lip
A promissory slip
A bitter tasting candy bar

So long

Sleeping on the stairs
Like dreamy millionaires
Cherry blossoms at her feet
She took his little book
And clutched it like a crook
And watched the dogs run down the street

So long

He thought it was enough
Pretending to be tough
It didn't work out how he planned
She tried to pay the rent
By looking innocent
But she could never understand

So long
