So this gal
Comes into the shop
And when she leaves
The sugar bowl is gone,
You say what the hell!
Upon reflection you realize,
Some people rob banks,
Some steal sugar bowls,
And some in three-piece suits
Screw you out of the commission
On a million and s half dollar yacht sale,
There’s assholes at all levels.

I read that the center of the earth
Is four billion years younger
Than the rest of it,
Hmmm …
I read that the universe
May be a hologram,
Hmmm …
So I wrote some lines
And thought about you
Or was it just an illusion,
But then the infusion
Of perfume and the smell
Of your hair
Dancing into the confusion,
Left me totally distracted.

It’s not an easy thing
Sitting back contemplating
The possibilities,,
What with rising temperatures
With rising seas,
Where would you place
Millions of displaced people?
Would it create
Multiple Middle Easts?
Is that why for many
It’s pass the peas
And straight denial?
Hell, if it were real
Would governments be issuing
Building permits at sea level,
Would they be pounding
Sand into the oceans
Creating islands and runways?
Pass the potatoes
And forget that changing
Nonsense,
Get on with living.

Why are you visiting
Naked in my dreams?
It’s Magic.
I don’t believe in magic.
It’s like climate change,
Whether you believe it or not
It’s happening.
At least they are not
Taxing dreams.
Give them time
Dreamer,
Give them time.

If I read your mind
And you read mine
Would we find
Ourselves lost
In a maze of low lit
Caves,
Or on the beach
Blinded by
The awe of brilliance
Unaware of the coming
Tsunami.

With a handful of memories
And a pocket full
Of dreams,
Reality screening
Gearing up to a scream,
Who would have thought
Way back at seventeen
Reversing the numbers
Would be such a different scene.

Holding on to the moon
What else to do ?
The days of the scorching sun
And the whistling wind
Had long passed,
The moon seemed as quiet
As their lives now were,
As cold as their bones
In the late night air,
And all the romance
Of the long love affair,
Danced in their stare
Holding on to the moon.
