Why be at the dune?
I see the juice of prune.
Sigh me until June.
My Lai to the wound.
Try tea on the mound.
Guy way, or the ground.
Fry bee to the sound.
Highway not too soon.
Live free in cartoon.
Lie, flee to the ruin,
Zero at the bone.
Hero in the zone.
Free me to the tune.
Fly me to the moon.

I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark
