On world-class runways, with no expression on their face
Parading styles you can't afford in your possession
They are the ghostly models of the latest, greatest FASHION.

She cooks her husband dinner the...

Harder to stretch what little we have, and so unsure of tomorrow like being stuck in a maze.

The Happy Hour Wheel
Tighten up your grip in full fanfare and splendour on reality
Embracing and professing humility
Promoting and brandishing flexibility and feasibility

As the span of your life grows
In pre-arranged columns and rows
Discounting character assassination throws

Delecting, delighting and pandering...

He Supposed He Was a Self-Made Man
He often thought to himself
that he has been too quickly assembled
that he should have taken more time
for the busy hands of his constructing mind
to fill-in the flaws, smooth-out the cracks,
properly tightened the loosely screwed together
parts...

You are a sad person, you know?

Where's that unbreakable smile?

But you lost yourself.

Semi-Sail
the rig sails on
the captain at the wheel
steel billowed crosswinds
and Willie's gruff twang

rigs riggin' is sailin', movin'
