Three Views Of A Secret

Three Views Of A Secret

Glasses of wine (all mine)

Bawdy, Bacchanalian, and blurred,

I stumble home shirtless, aimless,

Sans aime.

Glasses of wine (all thine)

Stochastic, silly, and starry-eyed,

You Uber-opt and home-arrive safe,

Sauf erreur de notre part.

Glasses of wine (last time)

Ill-advised, ill-timed, and illusory,

The couple decouple, recouple as

Un autre couple.

Mon Dieu.

—

Should you decide to walk

Down Candyland Lane, beware:

The temptress with venomous

Chocolate, sucks your insides.

Walks you like a seasick
Stowaway regretting that

Sumatra-bound ship,

Nabs your knickers, 

Lays you naked.

Leaves you for dead.

—

Brazil Brazil Brazil is calling me

Belo Horizonte, Recife, Bahia.

Journey over the horizon,

Cross the Horse Latitudes,

Because there lies a remark you made,

A lifeless gesture in full bloom.

(Title taken from song by Jaco Pastorius)
