2)  Letter from CREMONA

Too late, she says, to fix THIS World. Too late to fix Life's
wrongs.
Too late to look the SUNRISE in the eye;
too late to fix this Song.

Too late, to actually say: "Hello?" And that OTHER
thing? -long since said "Goodbye!"
U twist, SHE twirls
BETWEEN?
And there-in lies all the answers of the World.

Too late to CONFESS,
too late to quit  "the quitting" of your SUCCESS?
And Paradise? -it's a mess; go trust, JUST WE
TWO - all of US! - to make it so?
And a gift of GOOD INTENTION is priceless;
but, alas, too late to fix
...this Song.


3)  IAGO

Is IAGO your face?, Is he in your sneaky eyes?
Does he wander thru your nose, your chin; does he speak the
WORDS U SAY? Does he know your Tailor,
the CUTTER!
-is HE an Iago, too?
...Like a VIRUS, like a   "Picture
of DORIAN GREY"?
As in a MIRROR, he'll come back
to HAUNT U someday;
and he WILL come Home to U.

OMIGOSH! The SMELL!!!

4)  EVERY TIME...

Every time we say "Goodbye", I die a little
(GO SHOOT YOURSELF! -I say,)
Every time we say "Goodbye", you DIE
a little;
(GO SHOOT YOURSELF! -you say,) then
we look into each other's eyes
and Dream?

Every time we say "Goodbye", I die a little (she says, adding;)
GO SHOOT YOURSELF!
Every time WE say "Goodbye", (I say), "I die a little,"
adding:
ALSO? GO AND SHOOT YOURSELF, TOO!

We're just some CRAZY KIDS;
God know what GOD we miss?
She smiles, says: "BANG! BANG! YOU'RE DEAD!"
I fall at her feet with a smile.


Every time we RUN OUT OF MONEY,
EVERY DAY, sometimes, the DAY
don't seem funny?
If U DON'T KNOW LOVE? -then don't ask?!!!

Then, "pour Le course"? -we look into each other's eyes
...and Dream.
