In a past life… I’m sure of it… I was exceedingly Grandiose… And as grand as myself… each entrance- Pausing in doorways To give each and every head the privilege To turn and peruse the Magnificence that was me… And with each exit Shatter champagne glass… and Slowly… hip swayingly…. Drag full length mink along the floor…. But not this time around… No… This phenomenal, prosaic, and unpretentious time around If I drag full length mink… Some heifer would accidentally… or purposely Be guaranteed to step on it.. making me hafta Step to her… (get off’a mah coat!) And no good can ever come From two grown women… Rolling in gutter gum And miscellaneous sidewalk debris ‘til the cops show… and I catch a case…   With footprints on my coat…   gum in my hair… and My spirit of woe… Cuz it wasn’t s’posed to go Down like that… not the way I saw my Grand Exit at all… So… I’ve concluded … evidently… by the way it seems like i should roll… Not this time around… but in a past life… Surely… I was exceedingly Grandiose

Grandiose
In a past life… I’m sure of it… I was exceedingly Grandiose… And as grand as myself… each entrance- Pausing in doorways To give each and every head the privilege To turn and peruse the Magnificence that was me… And with each exit Shatter champagne glass… and Slowly… hip swayingly…. Drag full length mink along the floor…. But not this time around… No… This phenomenal, prosaic, and unpretentious time around If I drag full length mink… Some heifer would accidentally… or purposely Be guaranteed to step on it.. making me hafta Step to her… (get off’a mah coat!) And no good can ever come From two grown women… Rolling in gutter gum And miscellaneous sidewalk debris ‘til the cops show… and I catch a case…   With footprints on my coat…   gum in my hair… and My spirit of woe… Cuz it wasn’t s’posed to go Down like that… not the way I saw my Grand Exit at all… So… I’ve concluded … evidently… by the way it seems like i should roll… Not this time around… but in a past life… Surely… I was exceedingly Grandiose
