reading signals without my glasses

Post by saw » May 21st, 2011, 10:00 pm

what is this message
the story deep below
that plunging black neckline,
that diamond encrusted ankh
dangling so sweetly

in the rolling cleavage
somehow now forbidden
by the symbolism
of past centuries, swaying
in the motion of your walk

one might call this
an odd accessory
displayed so cleverly
in the one place
you knew I'd look
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.

dino, I knew above all that you would understand
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

and why not? we are both men of culture and discernment - men of the world - that dirty little world that i call home.

yes we were cultured before it existed, maybe had a hand in soiling it, the world that is....but who cares, we did it our way....frankie would be proud
