Never Day

She flicked thru bins in trashed

Up finery

East down eyes searching for news

Every once in a while she'd look up

At me

Penniless and pretty, nothing to

Lose

Never ever never day

Curious glance thru cellar haze

The way you dream your wasted night

The never ever never light

Beat up copies of old satellites

Messages beaming dusty blues

Pale white fingers trace the card-

Board lines

And black eyes that steal the noon

Stale and vintage air has drugged

Me down

No escape from her narcotic

Scheme

You touch the letters of a static

Name

Someday I'd like to make that
