Cardiopolitan Days
Kerfuffles and falafels Festive suits, the extra glance, extra laugh We hold each other’s keys and guard them jealously Everybody working from imperfect information Children conduct the Turing Test on one another with indian sunburns and titty twisters The model is mottled Every gear turns, every eye sees Love is the welt and the balm It survives, but never unmixed Summer returns to teach us a little more about the thing we stupidly called stupidity Copyright 2006-2012 by Cook Communication |
