SHE SAW THE CRYING AND SHE JUST ROLLED HER EYES

TENDERNESS AND EXCITEMENT HAVE BOTH BECOME STRANGERS

CERTAIN THINGS SUDDENLY TURN INTO MIRRORS

SHE STARTED TO WONDER WHETHER BETH DITTO HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT

SHE PAUSED FOR A MOMENT TO SIP SOME LEMONADE

WATCHING THE PEARL-LIKE BUBBLES GATHERING ON THE BOTTOM OF THE POT

FIFTEEN AND A HALF YEARS

BY THIS TIME THE FOLLOWING DAY SHE WOULD HAVE FOUND OUT

THE EIGHT THINGS TO CHECK BEFORE THE SUN SETS

GOSSIP ABOUT A STAR, SOMETHING FUNNY OR JUST A RANDOM FACT

WITH HER EYES OPEN SHE WAS WAITING FOR THE ALARM TO GO OFF

IT'S HOW PEOPLE NEVER EVEN THINK OF THE SOUND OF THUNDER DURING WINTER

THERE WERE NO NEWS BUT THAT WAS ONLY TEMPORARY RELIEF FOR HER

THE DEVIL HAD AN ADVOCATE, MIRACLES WERE USED AS EVIDENCE

TO HAVE YOU ALWAYS NEAR SHE SAID

ON THE WAY DOWN SHE WATCHED HERSELF ABSENT-MINDEDLY IN THE MIRROR OF THE LIFT

THE EYELINER CAN LIE, BUT THE EYES CAN'T

APART, TOGETHER, APART, TOGETHER, APART AND SO ON

THE DIRECTOR OF BEN HUR DIED IN 1981

THE LAST TIME SHE WAS WEARING A T-SHIRT THAT WASN'T HERS

COLD BENEATH HER FORHEAD BUT WARMTH AROUND HER HEART

SHE NEVER TRUSTED PEOPLE WHO COVER THEIR MOUTHS WHEN THEY LAUGH

SOME SHOES ARE FOR WALKING, OTHERS FOR DANCING OR STAYING AT HOME

IT WAS AN UNFAIR PRICE BUT SHE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO PAY IT

INCORRECT, MISSING, MIXED UP, UNAVAILABLE, BROKEN, EXPIRED, WRONG

UNTIL KINGDOM COME AND BEYOND
