A LIVING STONE

OUT ALONG

THE BOULEVARD

LIFE IS SHORT

AND TWICE AS HARD

WHERE LIVING STONES

WILL HIDE EACH LIE

DISCARDED THERE

FOR PASSERSBY

MIRROR SKIES

REFLECT OURSELVES

LIKE PLATES AND CUPS

ALL STACKED ON SHELVES

WE PRETEND

TO LAUGH AND SMILE

WHILE DYING INSIDE

AND STANDING TRIAL

MAKE BELIEVING

WE ARE FREE

DRINKING WINE

AND SIPPING TEA

OR MAYBE SIP

THE WINE INSTEAD

I'M NEVER SURE

OF WHAT WE SAID

LITTLE BISCUITS

FOR A MEAL

TOUCHED TO LIPS

OF COLD ROLLED STEEL

DAINTY BITES

INTO YOUR SOUL

KILLER EYES

AND DICE THAT ROLL

SUSHI BARS

ALONG THE WAY

WHERE LOSERS GATHER

JUST TO PLAY

CHAMPAGNE BRUNCHES

CRYSTAL GLASS

AT SUPPER TIME

THEY PAT YOUR ASS

COGNAC SMILES

AND SEXY TALK

HANDS THAT LIKE

TO TAKE A WALK

SOME TOGETHER

SOME ALONE

WILL JUST BECOME

A LIVING STONE
