here’s a song i’ve had as a draft on my computer for a couple weeks:
posting cutie pictures
up on the social meed’ . . .
tell me bunny, is that ineffable allure,
actually fishing for a captain like me?
i stop & ask myself,
did that sign say heaven’s now hirin’?
tell the suavest & the handsomer,
please apply within . . . . . .
{facebook pop}
howdy there bunniest,
would you care to grab coffee, this week’nd?
{facebook pop} ha, maybe, maybe not, loverboy
who is askin’ =)
{facebook pop}
you got me: i’m a lover not a fighter,
& i believe this world was built for two . . .
i also so happen to believe,
that i might like you . . .
& so if my company happened to be,
a mutual desire . . .
all i can say is my love is free,
& this gun is for hire . . .
{facebook pop}
ok, fine.
meet me at the coffeehouse,
up on North & Vine
i’ll bring my girlfriend with me,
i’m guessing you shouldn’t mind.
{facebook pop}
There is a God — great,
then it’s a date —
how about 7’o’clock,
on Friday?
{facebook pop}
sure. {facebook pop} k bye
{(pause?) then revelrous happy harmonica solo}

looking for the girl in the photograph
i hike up my boxers of silk,
from somewhere there’s intoxicating vanilla fragrant, &
she arrives all dressed to kill
i say hey, & hug her
somewhat hangingly
she smiles with her affection,
whilst i notice her friend just standing
who’s this you brought with you
is she your bestest friend?
yup – her name is
ms. eliza ‘lizabeth
(hello)
i light up with a bright idea,
hey, let’s play a game:
i call this one Favorites,
name all your favorite things you can name.
(ok)
i say here i’ll start,
i Love Love more than anything,
she smiles, but it’s awkward
so i say & i also like to sing.
she says that’s way cool
maybe i can hear you sometime (yeah)
— my favorite thing’s my best friend,
i’ve known her all of my life
{spoken:}
aww that is sweet –
hey do you want anything to drink?
no i can pay my own,
but yeah i guess let’s go get a cup of coffee
we go up the spiral staircase
to the coffee barista
i order up a depth charge,
she says i’ll get tea,
& we go back downstairs,
there’s a good song blasting thru the air
she says i love it in the autumn,
it’s too beautiful, everywhere
i smile – i like your outfit
i can tell you’re way classe
she says thank you darling,
& moves with a bit of uncontrollable sassy
ok i think my favorite thing is motown
she says watch me do an arm wave
i joke with a she-bop she-bop,
she says oh man, no way
ok one of my favorite things is hair dye,
blueblack looks egyptian,
she says you should do rainbow,
yeah if i could find the beautician
read any good books this year?
oh i don’t know, i guess i read a lot on the webz
there’s some sites i really like
let me guess one is reddit?
yeah … ok a favorite thing is the stars,
– yeah me too, the starlit canopy
hey i think it was clear,
we could go out to the patio if you please
we go out to the breeze,
we’re into each other, we agree
i hum ‘when the moon hits your eye . . .’,
she looks happy.
ok my favorite thing is leonard cohen,
he’s just like a crow . . .
she says yeah jeff buckley used to date liz frazer but now he’s just a ghost
we talk on & on
tubin’ on the river of Life
her friend says maybe they should leave
but she says you can go if you like
*harmonica blow (single)*
hey should we catch a motion pic’?
she says actually i have netflix . . .
a long pregnant silence ends
with let’s
we go back to her apartment
& we watch a favorite pick of hers
& the night is beautiful
it was itself a motion picture
