This Swamp of Unbalanced Formulas
At the dock, each seaplane passenger was made to step on
no easy job but I managed. I watched a lot of TV and when
I would know how to spit my wine back in a glass and make a
sun burn the mists from the fields and despite the heat the
the uproar of a heated debate,
you stuck to your story until finally she said,
I only wanted some land and a villa. I only wanted
tight sequined clothes with lots of glitter on their faces,
a t-shirt that said No Problem and didn't look like
she couldn’t stay because it could not be that she would never
put two and two together. Must be she finally give that
time listening and calling around for a job. Or smoking or drinking
down at the ice. These frozen waters had swallowed
her into the circle and patted her shoulders. They handed her
elaborate trimmings where the high ceiling and the walls
stuck to your story until finally she said, Go ahead and stay.
