A Leak In The Safe

The first night waitress laying menus on the table one after another
With anything but amiable sentiments verging upon impertinence
Without much civility she shrugs her finely molded shoulders
Looking quite presentable in the rose-hued light rampant rebel
With the grip of a woman who is deeply moved a field and surface
Of gold spontaneously arisen on a breathless evening in August
Acquiescent and admiring piquant but not of the mortal kind like
Alien life found in icy geysers on Saturn’s moons it’s hard for her
To understand our purpose the whole terrible business
Dealings that would not bear the light of day

Into the pool dear god
Lost in the water my god
You look lovely inside the house too
It’s transcendent to hear a woman
Speak wisdom as we stand by
Each other god for my welfare
And his own amusement
Has led me into this temptation
Into this region of shadows
Where lie the places where
I am young

The tent of mystery the palace and temple of the divine is
This human body sauntering idly by in search of a cigarette
Who looks on grimly at this comedy with a weary air
Having exhausted all the pleasures of the fete

A savage dowered with a powerful brain
I like you none the worse for it
Bound to your chariot wheels if
Only to bask in your society laugh
