she doesn’t let me drink
and insists
that I listen to her
insists with
a viciousness
“It’s because you work night shifts,”
she says.

he could count the major events
in his life on a
mangled hand's fingers
But this was one of them. The day she took him
to church.
So that's what girlfriends are for.
But he didn't like the church
didn't like the songs
didn't like the preacher and the preaching
......
He jumped off the building and
the metallic wings carried
him high
towards the clouds
where others like him swam in absolute
bliss
but then something

She told me that women like
men with grizzled,
bestial
faces, men with scars
men with eyepatches

Eyes that are like eggs buried in
a nest of wrinkles

She awoke early one morning
To find herself alone in their bed...
She had gotten into another fight
With her boyfriend last night...
Over problems that were all in her head...
She looked in every room
Searching for her long lost lover...
They hadn’t really spoken in days
Her mind often away in a haze...
......

Don’t just stand there and gawk…
You have to learn to talk the talk…
Or you have to walk the walk…
If you dance to the music…
You have to pay the piper…
If you disrespect a farmer’s daughter…
He might sting you like a viper…

Why can’t we simply accept
the way things are...
Push aside all our worries
and enjoy a good cigar...
When you can take time off

I love my Jewish girlfriend
And the similarities of our beliefs...
While we are both spiritual by nature
We know Jesus didn’t wear briefs...
We sometimes disagree on principle
But the basics we believe to be true...
The Golden Rule is the best of all:
Treat others as you want them to treat you...

I know what it means to fall in love...
To receive a gift from the heavens above...
I’m tired of living in a world of strife...
I love you, sweetie, will you be in my life...
Since we met, I’ve felt totally strange...
It’s a wonderful feeling, of positive change...
My every thought is of you, my warming, cozy flame...
When I’m alone with you, I feel we’re one and the same...
