Rare Moment

My heart beats so oddly As if in love but somewhat less dismayed I've come to hate the city and the way it plays me Rare moment little flower collapsed in my arms unable to charm Administered periodic doses of misgivings Lost amongst the dying it does set you strangely And their faces seem so old hearts so elastic All dreams abandoned all that's left is living The smog hanging low, we pretend we are perched up high in the hollywood hills Ready to leap or tumble through backyards Doberman prowled swimming pool gouged Rare moment little flower collapsed in my arms unable to charm My heart beats so old now As if I'm dying
