Take the boy and girl out of the mansion
Turn off the tide
Raise dust and hordes of locust
American in demonstration
American in consternation

HALLOGEN eyes illuminate the way
Youth tastes great
Sweet on the tongue
Before turning into bitter bile of disappointments

Saw the dead branches off the Tree of Life
Fertilize the tree of Good and Evil
Rake up the leaves of fallen dreams
Once bright and green

. . . looking forward to Sunday off
