no. 20-something (i've lost count)

Post by Marksman45 » November 23rd, 2004, 6:44 am

(for Lauren)

I am smoking my pipe and thinking of you.

My pipe is loaded with tobacco
that is getting too old
from a package with a ship on it.

Smoking-my-pipe tastes like a smokebreak
on the front porch
while inside rages a wild party
where a zydeco band is rocking the house
and someone drunk on cognac keeps shouting
"Dance Party 1879!"

Thinking-of-you tastes like the warm sunset

smokin' my peace pipe
listenin' to Rory Gallagher
with a raga drummer and
an electric violin...entranced
wanting to dance, I tell her
everyone smiles when they
dance...then the song ends...........wired
