Fall to Grace

All of your pearls

Are slipping off the string

Too quick for capturing

Now clicking on marble tiles

All of your curls

Suddenly unwind

Springs straightened into tines

Now striding out single-file

Framing stone faces

Tangled hair and lace

Awkward embraces

Dancing to car alarms

So no time to waste

Grab your suitcases

Won’t you fall to grace

Into my waiting arms

Full up you roots and follow me towards the city lights

Let’s stuff up our suits-it’ll drive them crazy

Let’s go of our dreams, they’re not what they seem

Our first pursuit is to be lazy

So let’s stop pretending

That pride is not depending

On conceits and pretensions

Hubris and vanity

Lower your flag

Snatch up your bags

From richеs to rags

From prestige to penury
