Black-jack! Hot to trot Nanny, unfolding
what, for us, goes on forever, like
a Russian doll, i hear the phone ring
No worries, man this is a delta spike
everything in this life will radiate,
and, when it does, the piper takes the cake,
shoveling sweet morsels past the gate
that divides the straight and the love we take,
many-a-mission, this incontrovertible
message: the love of your life is at stake.
don’t look now, lass - wolf of a skull,
preys upon the act of love that we make,
jumpin’ jim-juniper, his thirst, his fate
hands clasped to the wheel, this is checkmate,
that’s alpha-Romeo and his wolfish-pate,
it doesn’t matter, to me, if I don’t date,
swash-bucklin’ wild turkey in a jam,
this is alpha-Romeo—I respond,
You make me—dear heart, what I am
a shirtless painter, soon to abscond,
