If my appearance interferes with your venerable existence,
Please take your body and withdraw from my crude presence.
I have nothing but respect and reverence for your face.
It reminds me of canyons I've never seen and dreams I've misplaced.
There's nothing I'd love more than to share a drink or two
And chat about teenage procreation or Sioux City Sue.
Because your hair was scarlet and your eyes were opal blue.
I remember the pendant on your necklace was an old buffalo tooth.
We could speak of urban myths, beets, and the leaping years.
You could confess to me your secrets and I'd unleash my fears.
I'm not surveying your wrinkles or the silver in your hair.
I'm savoring your mouth while smoke lingers in the air.
you will set your ear upon my heaving chest
As I vacuum in the last drag of my cigarette.
Obliged to hear me speak of rock and roll legends,
Then I will quietly leave the stoop and witness your superb silhouette end.
fantastic!!!! that is all. :)
