I could read you some smoking hot papers
and you
could get high on the vapours,
or possibly go A to Zee in the
pages of our dictionary,
she says,
I'll give it some thought.

Then I get an F for the fantasy
I thank her and
she
goes and blanks me,

this is not an
'incident on the Yangtze'
this happened in my own
backyard.

I play solo with this tight illusion
it saves on the electric or
is that a delusion?
as always
I'm full of confusion

I blame that on Welles and
his Mercury radio show.
