*"It was rain'in hard in Frisco
I needed one more fare to make my night
A lady up ahead waved to flag me down
She got in at the light."


I thought of you today
Your voiceless laughter of "h"s and "e"s
And faceless artistic smiles.

Past Pisces
Left on Taurus
Cancer in Libra's balance.

The mane, coarse
Red eyes in your headlights
There are no mirrors.

Heard a whisper
Caught a whiff of memory
In the shade of a magnolia.

Is the fox playing tricks
Briefly dropping the mask
For a moment...I saw you.

*"And here she's act'in happy
Inside her handsome home
And me, I'm fly'in in my taxi
Take'in tips and get'in [mill]stoned."
