coat wayward sentiments, of
grave quagmires rippling...

	and paintings
	stocks and bonds
	vacations 
and expectations
entire vocations...

blending, merging

rocking your baby doll

Cajun waltzing
Jolie Blon waltzing
so smooth,...

Lions hunt anything,
They hunt all the while,
They approach their prey,
With incredible guile.
Their plan is strategy,
When they attack,

In shadows of blue
clouds slow dance across the skies
Tender sunlight dream
follows mute, chronic drifters
round and round the blooming world

O'er shady forests

Lovely lady you know I am a drifter
Life didn’t need to move any swifter,
So many tales over the years,
A drifters life doesn’t consist of fears.

90's Grunge Blitz
Thrift shop miracles of multi-

who have not yet; joined the cult of
organized-nicean-rebellion.
