Alligator kisses
on the rivers of my mind
do hold those castled souls
They wind and wend and wander
Greened and darkened
Harkened unto blackness
To shake & break & fake it man
Those alligator kisses can.
Alligatior kisses
and crocodile tears
bring years of beers in old Tangiers
But that was yesterday
And oil stained charmers
Milked skin farmers
Give life a change
Baby’s hawling, caterwauling
Give life some zip, to make my trip
But that, that too was yesterday
The peace of chance, seductive dance
The trance and prance of life, I say
Must be today.
