trusting like kids,  a burnished sky,  blue-white, 
a cocktail of the wrong...

With the wink of an eye
and a shuffle of feet
We wandered about
down a new city street
Where vendors wore blue
with a tangerine sash

Their carts were...

Lay down noiselessly,
as long as you stay still
and breathe lightly, then they will ignore you.

You can smile under your eyelids,
you can pretend that they have legs
and wear business suits.
You can imagine milking the poison

Blue painted motored boats beacon,
Us to calm green sea waters,

But the red setting sun
And to rest easy in the palm of night
With the prairie’s cool arms around me.

On this land of shifting sands under hot hazy skies
Merchants bringing their treasures, and best wines
Arabs traveling the sands with valued salt supplies
The caravans of camels lead by their puller in lines

A wiley post this early freeze fast makes
Making hard the sugarcane, shedding bright flakes
That covers the city, rivers, streets, and trees
The jet streams cold and meandering breeze,

Going for a song
When I heard that engine running

She was sweeter than a song
The price was right, she was going cheap
