Chuck
Face down terrible claims,
no star can refuse,
your outrageous shades,
you who wonder why,
the canons of virtue,
feel those cotton stripes,
this no child’s game,
TV mikes blare fake news,
chasing your days,
around your lies,
golden trinkets spin delay,
all your crass disguise,
iron bars on the way,
what y'doing being blue,
you hit them on the make,
only fools hesitate,
with someone like you,
better hold the doo doo,
tired of this campaign,
chickens glazed like fish glue,
especially on parade,
go easy on the truth.
across this shining bite,
that warns of easy treasure,
against the water's might,
the Americas near or far.
by mountains and lakes,
lovers only hesitate
like the sea off Burbo Bank,
her smile arrives estuary wide,
beams where my heart sank,
she never left a family’s side,
but came here to sing,
a woman who knows her rights,
her lungs like a tank,
that bellow any time,
could prise open a bank,
next to me like a bride,
her lips twist like centimes,
around a constant why,
the land within our sight,
an old man and his daughter,
a voyage for their heirlooms,
set your almond eyes blue
birds sing out of tune
drain summer into June
sweep up with the law
not present desire,
hope on a midnight wire,
we are not alone
in this lasting light,
home provides no clue,
God knows of your plight,
don't try to condone,
say your cards are marked,
you're never that far,
to stay where you are,
in a warm hazy fog,
and a veil across your face
don't send me to Mars,
from where you delegate,
