somewhere between dawn again
and a yesterday
that worked overtime
graveyard perhaps

the denny's lady knows
the difference
with her customers she says
the ones that fit in

and the ones that are lost
in time, runaways she says
from some secret place
they had hidden their dreams

and woke up in the middle
of the night to find
nightmares with swollen wombs
just moments away from twins

she offers more coffee to my eyes
and says I could be a regular guy
with another visit or two
and do I like the color of her nails

some shade of midwife burgandy

And pass a slice of key-lime life, please...

Excellent work this...
your observations remain on the cutting edge...

well sir, that a whole mouth full of life
you've penned marvelously....as only you can do...reminded me of my favorite broadway show....

All I want
is freedom,
a world with
no more night . . .
and you
always beside me
to hold me
and to hide me . . .

Then say you'll share with
me one love, one lifetime . . .
Let me lead you
from your solitude . . .
Say you need me
with you
here, beside you . . .
anywhere you go,
let me go too -

that's all I ask
of you . . .

Say you'll share with
me one
love, one lifetime . . .
say the word
and I will follow you . . .

Share each day with
me, each
night, each morning . . .

Say you love me . . .

You know I do . . .

Love me -
that's all I ask
of you . . .

Anywhere you go
let me go too . . .
Love me -
that's all I ask
of you . .

mmmmmm babe, now my fav' out of broadway was "hair"...took a charter buss from the "baldheaded gods" club to see it and we were front row and center...I was wearing a skull cap to fit in...some of the actors forgot their lyrics and just burst out laughing at us...

I always enjoy your commentary..is a spoon full of goodness each time

thanks lady

KIND of one and the same sort of at times.

liked the scream of burgundy you slipped in at the end
