Grate is dripping
Water down
To the tile floor below
Slides under the door
Onto the rug
Stains the sock upon the toe
Immediate sen-
Sations do not
Seem to hold or last
Ignore the present touches
To your skin - embrace things past
Irish Harlem
1890
Big band claims the beat
Dancing men
1930
Shoeshine claims their feet
Immediate sen-
Sations do not
Seem to hold or last
Ignore the present touches
To your skin - embrace things past
Lover as scorn
Leaves today
Takes a jet plane far away
Kiss anothers
Lips to my
Chagrin I'll never say
Immediate sen-
Sations do not
Seem to hold or last
Ignore the present touches
To your skin - embrace things past
Suicide dons
A cap of lead
Upon a boy so young
Weighing him down
Coil of death
So tight - so tightly strung
Immediate sen-
Sations do not
Seem to hold or last
Ignore the present touches
To your skin - embrace things past
