Ro Sham Beaux

Untaped silent mouth
I can’t believe I never noticed
The shaded corner lily
Usually the first and last I water

A small collection
Separated by a timely garage sale
How very sad
Let me try to clear the air

The best intentions of mankind
Always launched from a solid, solid ground of selfishness
The sailor sacrifices his life
To bring fancy hotels the catch of the day
But the waves distance him
From secrets, sunken like anchors


So nearby though!
I cannot believe I never noticed
Few golden objects
Under my paper wing and scissored sight
I’m just plain stoned
One got away and it’s coincidence, I know
Ro Sham Beaux

Well, times have changed
Solid ground I do not have nor want
I will take my friend to the circus
We will ride the sinking ferris wheel
We will stomp the divets of the fair ground
And we will be children
In a world where adults cry for attention
