1038

Play it down the middle
And the wilder faces you make
Get under the wire. The judge
Takes a step to the side
To let the minnows pass,
But that doesn't mean
He's paying off the housekeeper.

A musical starring
The smell of baking
Repays its backers
By standing staring.

Weren't you saying something
About meeting me someplace ridiculous?
I found one
But you weren't even
Slamming a car door

Or tearing an immense cardboard sheet
To bits.
