When I'm With You

From here to there in minus time, a spirit casts a line

to fish alternatives and Caesar lives. It's 1939. It's

Fall. We eat pizzas by the pool...we watch the Christians

sing then fall in quadro. 50 legal channels, this one

sponsored by St.Paul. Are you playing me? (Where next ?)

Year sub-zero here in Baghdad,s uper-heroes stalk the

street. The bitter moon looks down and laughs while I lie

smoking in the bath with you. Now spray these lips with

superglue, I'm lying through my teeth - it's ocean blue

in Casablanca, but it's burned out black beneath. Playing

me... (where next?) It's All Souls Night. I'm frightened

because I'm standing here alone. I watched the last bus

fly to Brighton. Now life's empty but it's home. And I

skip lightly through the garbage, call you on your mobile

phone. The message says you've re-located. "Leave a

message...here's the tone." Playing me? (Where next?)
