How wonderful is a smile from a perfect stranger?
When they walk your way and catch you staring
She’ll flash that smile and its simple bliss,
But pure brilliance at the same time
That smile reassures you that someone cares
Someone loves you
It may just be a smile from a stranger
What a beautifully strange smile it is
It may just be a smile, but it shows she cared enough
And that’s enough
So stumble over your words and flash back that halfcocked grin
To show you saw
For that stranger just may need
Your strange smile after all

Be water, gathering
The scariest knot is a frayed one
Because it's 'fraid of nothing'
Slumpin', back alley blacktop lavalamp
Soft, damp, been raining I guess
The storm came out of the west
tracking sideways
Byways, through the backroad be gone in a second
Just depends on if you wreck it
Nothing can resurrect it, this feeble thing
Bodies gone limp and cold in your eyes
A frayed knot for a heart, playing clarinet over disembowelment
Chewing mint harder than cement
Walking semi circular circles in your garden
We are in, already, you just didn't notice
A lotus floats, a sailor boats, a frog throat explodes
Trying to chain together to many loads
Whole **** thing went off halfcocked
Teeth scraped into the bedrock, limestone kiss
Another flaw to add to a long list

— The End —
