There might not be magic
Or magnificent descents
Beyond the obvious suspense of the flesh
There's physics on the court
And in assembly of notes
Scribbled plucked or in a flask
Like a hint of smoke
The hungover sounds
Of a trombone and a curdled clown
Who happens to look a lot like me
There's strangers on the lake
Dwindling real estate
The prices are high but shadows dance for free

On blackboards
And tired bleachers
Terrified and stoned
Manhattan eyes and chunky cheekbones

By the pinball machine
Hangs a painting of a backstage queen
With golden geese
And corsets unraveling
On the edges of the frame
A flaking date and a nickname
A signature rasping on the wing
I do intend to be a better man
A companion when Sundays come around
Bars close fast
We're always last to go
We'd switch to gasoline if it killed us slow

On blackboards and tired bleachers
Terrified and stoned
Manhattan eyes and chunky cheekbones
Chilled glass of wine and a wilted yellow rose
The cards are dealt and flimsy as mechanical moans
