This Shalla Hoping

 

Bluer than ice I am

Sometimes

                        yet there’s times I’m

softer.

Times I’m melted as

Summer butter

and at times

moody trumpets could make me

Smile wider than my lipsticks

At sucha warm thunder.

 

There’s shalla hoping

In this town

                                    but there’s times I’m

wearin my lipsticks

(Golden brown

Gorgeous purple)

                                    thrilled at that alone.

                                    I say good lookin for me.

Shalla lookin that is

since people falter

Among my views

Into snickers

At lips touched with sucha care.

Smeared sneers and all make this clear.

 

Smile wider than my lipsticks

to spite sucha thunder,

but there’s shalla hoping

                                    in this town.

Ride a day, meetin

The whole damn city

                                    and still am not

whom I am.

Crust of realness

Bikes these streets.

 

Shalla bit of dream

Cryin out in this

Questioned smile when

 

Bluer than ice I am

Sometimes

and there’s the times I’m

softer.

Times I’m melted as

Summer butter

                                    and at times

                                    moody trumpets could make me

Smile wider than my lipsticks

At believin in sucha silly thunder.
