Several viewpoints coalescing in a soundscape of not-so-unfamiliar existential turf

lyrics

Stories

“Smashing things, girls”,
and sometimes he meant it literally,
with roses and presents afterwards…

That was the man at the table next to us:
A rooftop restaurant, revolving big picture
Window views, the dark sparkling and slowly
Blotted by fog….
Horns, I imagined or playing rainy pans
Those cold watery days, with the mind still,
By voices, sandblasted-----

“Just let me see your face,” said the kid when,
“Don’t look at me,” the woman’s fire-escape shaded
head turned away…

“Couldn’t you just love me?’, asked the song,
some sincere background vocalist…

“I’m surprised to still be alive.”-----

Accidental involvement: martinis clinking,
the bands waltz plucking the blare of taxi cab
fanfare for the luck of lovers spilling out upon streets…
susceptible wintry skin above clothing
consumed enlightened or disfigured by thought…

“Stormy Weather”, again went the stereo, my happiest
Christmas so far, when you read me your poetry,
whereas now, with an almost stranger, driving back,
the wake behind…..

“Please, I must ask you, would you like, if only
you wouldn’t mind, my
(your hands on the steering wheel)
head
(so firm and so steady)
to simply rest it
(the wipers and lights whooshing)
there there
(and shoulders)
friendly-like, you see
(such a good set)
no come on, no
(encyclopedic really)
power play

and thus he…
(smashing things…your face…)
I,
(just let me see…don’t look)
we all,
(couldn’t you just…I’m surprised…)
went
(Stormy Weather)
to sleep
