The Other

In the night window your body becomes visible
Like a memory or an old lover returned.
The dim lamplight and willing glass
Conspire to flatter you, to deny
The pull of long hours on your face.
The woman reflected watches you,
Writes something on moon-white paper,
Watches you again, looks through you,
Sees what you did yesterday, the stain of regret
On your back. Vunerable, love addicted,
Your thoughts fog the glass.
She makes note of that, scratching hurriedly
On the paper, mice racing between walls.
She knows your weaknesses, your lies,
How you drive yourself at night
Beyond dull endurance, though the unmade bed
Beckons like repressed desire.
You will do anything to feed your needs,
Glutton of never enough.
As you write the fiction of your life
She makes a second copy,
Gives it to the darkness as a joke.

~Becke Roughton

Peel Me A Grape

Peel me a grape, crush me some ice
Skin me a peach, save the fuzz for my pillow
Talk to me nice, talk to me nice
You've got to wine me, and dine me
Don't try to fool me, bejewel me
Either amuse me, or lose me
I'm getting hungry
Peel me a grape

Pop me a cork, french me a fry
Crack me a nut, bring a bowl full of Bon-Bons
Chill me some wine, keep standing by
Just entertain me, champagne me
Show me you love me, kid love me
Best way to cheer me, cashmere me
I'm getting hungry
Peel me

Here's how to be an agreeable chap
Love me and leave me in luxury's lap
Hop when I holler, skip when I snap
When I say do it, jump to it

Send out for Scotch, boil me a crab
Cut me a rose, make my tea with the petals
Just hang around, pick up the tab
Never out-think me, just mink me
Polar bear rug me, don't bug me
New Thunderbird me, you heard me
I'm getting hungry
Peel me a grape
Slowly

Here's how to be an agreeable chap
Love me and leave me in luxury's lap
Hop when I holler, skip when I snap
When I say do it, mmmmm.....

Send out for Scotch, boil me a crab
Cut me a rose, make my tea with the petals
Just hang around, pick up the tab
Never out-think me, just mink me
Polar bear rug me, don't bug me
New Thunderbird me, you heard me
I'm getting hungry
Peel me a grape
Peel me
Peel me a grape
