I have an illustrious dream,      want to be Leonard           Cohen's gypsy wife, he's kissing my lips on     Boogie Street, impetuously we dance     to the end of love        'til closing time        midst his secret life, he serenades me with      I'm your man          when we take Manhattan, bewildered by his poetic beauty there      waiting for the miracle to happen, a sip of wine, a cigarette          in love we disappear,    here it is, you got me singing         be that dog in heat, I'll take this waltz and    another please, cause              everybody knows      I hunger for your touch,   his famous blue raincoat          and the dew on my thigh goes a thousand kisses deep    in the cave at the tip of the lily   with its very own breath of brandy, slipping into the masterpiece              where Lenny is eternal

You have to love Leonard
After John Prine: **“There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear 'em there buzzing, And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today”** Mr. John Prine                        <£> There's flies in the kitchen, all around my eyes and head, they’re just gossiping bout me, why most mornings I’m still laying in bed at almost near noon-time, why too, them angels and their a-fluttering wings, a-flapping, still hanging around, when they’re so far from home truth be told, I kinda like new combinations, the musical vibes, magic incantations, boogie woogie, fuzzy buzzy eyelash sounds, bluesy background harmonies against the harps them angel wings are playing, I’m getting every note writ down so, I can play it well on the morrow, on my following them higher up, all the ways up on that glowing shining stairway to heaven, guarantee-damn-teeing entrance through the pearly gates for the flies and a lazy, no-account worthless S.O.B. like me

After John Prine: “There's flies in the kitchen...
I hear breathing and scratching under my bed, which sends an icy chill that would wake the dead. A faint moaning springs from under my bed, it freezes my heart as I pray for a quick death. My toes are out in the cold and they are very exposed, quick, quick can I drag them in? I look over the side of the bed to see a pair of eyes blinking in dread. As I realized to my heart's content it's just my kitten cowering under the recesses of my bed.

Boogie man under my bed
We Are So Lightly Here “So come, my friends, be not afraid, we are so lightly here It is in love that we are made, in love we disappear Though all the maps of blood and flesh are posted on the door There’s no one who has told us yet what Boogie Street is for” Leonard Cohen “Boogie Street”                                                      <~> my body, my eyes, my entirety, tattooed, with a city map, here, at this exact place, our eyes glanced, our eyes closed, who among us does not possess such a living guide, memories presented in a 3-D versions, constantly edited. placed your hand on my privacy, bid you enter, not a dare, more an invitation to risk, become a true love of mine, share exhilaration, desert valleys that pockmark unexpectedly, changes us to we, regresses, you and me, post-survivalists cut. 2 gather, modify highs/lows, meet & peaking@peculiar tunes, ever embraces residuals a sour film upon our lips, a puzzling, what excites, pacifies, returns us street corner, X’d our map, glances exchanged across an empty street, seeing each, not.

“We are So Lightly Here”
The entire cast is dead in 90% of the movies I watch. Sometimes my *** smells like popcorn and it's probably because of all the coconut oil I consume. I wonder what day of the week ends with nobody talking to me. It's hard to remember which color I forgot to remember. Whisky doesn't do much for me anymore, maybe I should start paying for it again. It's possible because it's impossible possibly because of the possibility. It's only a matter of time isn't true because time isn't matter, nor does it. Forever, infinity and etcetera gotta meet up at least once. I'm in the best shape of my life, it's kind of oval-y and rectangular, sorta looks like me. Personally, I think opinions are subjective.
