today’s forecast calls for partly sunny today
a 90% chance of aggravation
clear skies and rough seas
but then authority isn’t what it used to be
reality a cold shower
you gotta be kind of an oddball to put up with all of it
the future looked stagnant--we could only hope for a hurricane
to rearrange the already strange
the days of yore are no more---everything has changed
there was change in the air so I reached up
grabbed some and put it in my pocket
I found the truth one day and then told it to leave me alone
there would never be a night like tonight and there will never be again
never lose your belief in magic
once you do you age 100 years
everybody has to break the rules once in a while
so he says he told her “my heart belongs to you”
“I love you — I can’t go on without you”
— oh, please
I said that’s almost always a dreadful mistake
his mind was like a pinwheel but his brain was concrete
everybody told him about her, but what can you do?
I voted for taking the horses into town and rounding up some fun
the old dog knew what would happen but he didn’t say a word
evening was just starting so sup up and have another
‘everything’s cool’ said the cat with the ray-ban shades
it was a take no prisoners kind of night
but love seemed to be on backorder
serious drinkers only winding up in a sketchy harbor bar alone
downtown had become more of a run-down
run-down in the ground
