Fast One

       There was a soft click of ball against ball and then sharper click as the black ball dropped into the pocket that Coleman had called.

Ask Them All

If I die in New York City

Bury me on the Battery

The pretty girls on Brooklyn ferry

Ask them all to weep for me

Bury Me on the Battery

The Whole Theatre

          After all we are the absolute bosses of the whole theatre and show in our minds. We even write the script. So always write positive, dynamic scripts, and show only the best movies for you on that screen whether you are pimp or priest.

The Big Con

The clip-joints are filled every night with marks who crave the tat, said one con man. If you gave one of  them an even break it would spoil his evening.

Strangers in a Car

You don't know where you're goin'

You don't know what you're doin'

Hell it might be the highway to heaven

And it might be the road to ruin

But this is a song

For strangers in a car

Baby maybe that's all

We really are

Strangers in a Car

More Like Ornaments

         There's nothing fragile about this one. That ain't a fragile nose or mouth or chin, and yet it's female, more female than them fragile-pretty types who look more like ornaments than girls.
