Take Off In Another City Bus

grotesque thoughts
rumble up the attics of my grey cells

heaving and sighing in prank
they spring, jump and began to stank

she was my co-mate in the episode
and had the infection same

both got in the act
and twisted the facts

victim was hapless like a bird in snare
she cried and nostrils flared

her urges ripened
and she yearned for that face

that had loved her dear
with those handsome lines

she looked at the twisted tale again
tears began in rain

he could not strand her thus
and take off in another city bus.
