"Novitiate" Wading through turgid mainstream Novitiate makes her way to the bottom rungs of the Clean Team Where dreams are captured a.m. p.m. . on the run with weeping neutered minds zero sublime same old, same old Asks herself, “Where’s the substance? Am I gormless too?” rewards are Molasses, Sugar Plums and Glory, if that's you It’s like dipping your spoon in Alphabet Soup re-arranging letters. Shirley Temples with no flaming Bombe Alaska clue pour the brandy, light the flame. Ignite something, heart, mind or soul covert intelligence wonderful electric minds pollinating intellectual beehives, "where's all the dripping honey?" Novitiate dreams Go punch a hole in the sky block all emotional rissoles it’s not a question of do or die the Game is called take-the-ride, at all times avoid blood-sucking Vampires Strict insects in an ultra strict machine watching their wings flutter pretty, all beat in time bang against a silent wall koutou three times It aint about numbers baby nor who’s who in the Zoo it’s about writing your story lock, stock and smoking barrel keeping it true Cover all mirrors old is dead born is new Mornings rise with Sun Fold your cards, Hearts are trumps Win-Win what's done is done time to de-robe and run, run, run You're a novitiate skating daily in your black Nun's habit, it's way way tragique, it's all a bit, "La députée a raconté une histoire très tragique", find a new Boo. Passports, TRANSIT LOUNGE Airport Escape the Zoo. Time to Do-the-Do Novitiate throw off your Black habit Perfume Rouge lipstick New shoes Yeah, put on your Kavorka New You Double Deluxe Choc Chip take the double cream and cherry too. Escaping the Zoo True Romance. OUR STORY Me and You (Lovejoy-Burton/2018 Jan) "Temple of Love"/Johnny Hollow https://youtu.be/p64wbdRBzjk

Love your way of expressing yourself, it's a little too early for me to digest all of this but the trip was worth it, peace out!
