IN RESPONSE TO LAURA'S RESPONSE...

One too many muses

AND SOMETIMES ONE TOO FEW

I've got two

ME AND YOU

One who's kind of bluesy

THAT WOULD BE ME

One who's stuck on you

AND THAT WOULD BE ME

One who's shy and lonely

BUT NEVER EVER ALONE

One who bought new shoes

AND A MATCHING HANDBAG: TWO-TONE

She's so thin and bony

LIKE A STICK OF MACARONI

The other one can't lose

AFTER ALL SHE’S GOT NEW SHOES

One who rails cacaphonous

HOWLING LIKE A WOLF

And sets her toe on line

STEPPING OUT IN GUCCI- REALLY TOO SUBLIME

One who rises with the sun

AND FILLS HER DAY WITH FUN

And loves the spring's bright light

AND PARTIES THROUGH THE NIGHT

One who takes you to a cliff

SWEET PERFUME, NIFF SNIFF

And drops you off the edge

TEETERING ON A LEDGE

And so does visit bitter blight

EACH DAY AND EVERY NIGHT

On our new age sagesse

WITH SUCH SUPERB DIVINE FINESSE

One that dreams of weekend bliss

FALLING INTO QUAGMIRES FINDING THEIR ABYSS

And mornings spent in bed

WITH JOE OR HARRY OR FRED

With late late nights and dal with rice

AN INDIAN THE LIFE OF SPICE

That spicy taste of sin

HE LEAVES HER WITH THAT ALL KNOWING GRIN

One who calls and one who comes

AND ONE WHO COMES WHEN CALLED

Expectation, mirrored awe

TWO BODIES CAVORTING IN THE RAW

Riveted, spirited, psychopath, limited

A MUSE TO BE INSPIRED

God... and human after all

THE DEVIL STOKES HIS FIRE

She hands me the punchline

AND A GLASS OF LIGHTLY CHILLED WINE

Like so much melted butter

MY MIND IS IN THE GUTTER

I give her a smiley face

HAVE A NICE DAY - ENJOY THE PLACE

And lift her from the gutter

MUTTER MUTTER

"It's another dark day..."

THE SUN HAS GONE AWAY

"But the sun is shining!"

OH - SORRY I WAS JUST WHINING

"It's another ace of spades..."

FULL HOUSE ONCE AGAIN

"But goddamn it, you won!"

WE BOTH DID!
