Being here's no paradise, it only takes two, to see what's not right, we could be great stars, make the sea turn blue, stardust as we part, all need is better light, show what we can do, magnify us to see why, our songs still resonate, hung on lines of truth, served up fresh to taste, this bistro is our life, it dances to our tune, even as a transport pike, doesn’t matter how late, we wail our kitchen tunes, just give us a break, pray for easy nights, to latch on what is new, catch our chickens fly, well beyond the coop.

Xitlali

Once I thought I knew, now life's so short, you have to pay the dues, on this late spring night, when the kids don’t phone, a fire gives no respite, no books or other hues, paint traces where to court, on trails we well used, who knows if we're right, those of us who fought, others only asked for hire, you were never overuled, even if the ones you taught, belong to other schools, whenever there’s a time, to parade passing thoughts, let's bring them light, forget all the blues, don't make me postpose, heing happy on balloons, blown far from home.

Wyatt

You'll pay a heavy score, my almond eyes are ruined, tell me love is raw, then you pinch my bones, am like a awishing broom, attached to a useless home, my life is not so poor, whenever there's a shoo in, to escape your sorry claws, say I'm not the one, find somewhere else to room, I'll show you how it's done, don't label me by whores, forget the stuff you blew, won't give you any cause, will block all your calls, put you out of tune, shout at you get going, now you'll taste my orders, rinsed out beneath the moon, why you'll never have more, leave from here soon.

Valerie

So sharp between the ears, shares jokes in the dust, then the light appears, we knew her on the rails, a speaker for the just, one whose love never fails, what brought her here, in the lilac dusk, no one is very clear, a blue note in her sails, travels till she's bust, she's as hard as nails, yet everyone comes near, a flame that never shuts, they know not to fear, she abhors empty phrases, perfume is for schmuks, truth sets the eyes ablaze, she's careful as the deer, gives everyone her trust, to assist is her career, a manner understood.

Una

They say up your game, stop living in a trance, you'll suffer what remains, I listen to old songs, ones that make me dance, , catch the need to belong, hear some blues train, snake through a naked gap, am ready for the fray, the salt of crowded bars, luminous ships and lads, the legacy of the stars, rouge my lips and face, why polish unlit lamps, when tunes start to play, better to laugh crack on, echoing in my chants, who's to say am wrong, seeking holy balance ?

Traceylee

Since you've been away, I don't know what to do, but each night pray, break my maddened stone, say life will have to do, you still want me home, keep the time of day, does lying make it true, if facts gets in the way, somehow play the scone, laugh like fixed with glue, I am not a drone, the mall is one escape, whisky is not my ruin, you've eaten all the cake, confined within my zones, there’s little more to do, take the path and go, flee by creep of moon.

Sophia

You appear well gone, a picture up in lights, pasted to a faded wall, if love holds true, you know what I'm like, could only be with you, say you're still alone, no quarter to the flight, crack our yellow bones, are we just fools, a weight before our time, never really got the news, you rage down a ‘phone, roll all your fancy dice, suddenly ring out a solo, forget the bad reviews, how dreams erase the light, age blows a stark truth, it rides black and bold, across early summer sky, what life will unfold, claim us before we die ?

Riley

When you see a fading star, does it make you weep, know you've come so far, with children and home, can't I just keep, the will to carry on, send my ship to Malabar, please just let me be, safe in warm hazy fog, not really what i want, need to be back on screen, all the stuff you don't, maybe someone from afar, comes back across the sea soothes my weeping scars, puts water in my font, prays I'll be released, tells me what's going on, one day find my peace.

Quinn

Rain paints a mean stroke, runs down the windpw pane, shocked again I'm broke, skies shade my empty reach, no funds left for holidays, brings it all back to me, used to feel all aglow, buttered love and intimacy, now all i need are loans, sing to that dismal cheat, escaped on lonely trains, he took what I believed, whistles blow and moan, how to find another way, try with him long gone, one shift on many stays, it hums down the Freeway, Karma will sus him again, shadows mark my bones, makes me cold as slate, it marks all my zones, but I will rise again.

Penelope

She screams am all you, no one really sits tight, who has most to lose, do all poets die intestate, however much they lie, spitting venom at the page, explosive eulogies cue, the owner's terrible plight, would one day she's famous. Raybans blind her rage, one manager start to cry, she should be in a cage, will anyone tell the truth, giving credit is not wise, she terrifies diner's too, prowls around the stage, screams sonnets to the night, even the best are afraid, says she's never duped deals all her cards right, this cafe' is her fruit, strips it from on high.

Olivia

I paint like an old champ, walk with weary gait, smell my Cologne it's damp, bring cognac to my table, serve dishes by measured plate, feed my tiny frame, am not someone you look upon, who sways like a knave, singing about what's done, i just turn a page, show at this pavement cafe, pretend am on the straight, men before me stamp, throw crumpled notes my way, treat me like a tramp, teach them how to create, rage in fury at empty spaces, art is a fantastic race, have no time for lonely pap, sob I've been betrayed, see me here not absent, risen above shame.

Naomi

Year baby passed away, couldn't shift the blues, sunk deeper day by day, hated to be alone, see anyone vagely new, on the street a gyro, you brought me angels, I didn't have a clue, how to deal with rage, saw to all the loans, pulled me from a stew, put jelly on my bones, before he lost the game, thought all I could do , sink agsainst creation, then started to moan, you got me through, every door was closed, now your soul mate, singing is what I do, singing for happy ways, praise and bless you.

Madison

Who hasn't thought at most, alone and distressed, worrying about the past, take a drink of wine, find at breakfast is best, with this burden of mine, others study just the cost, bring anger to their lists, always what it's not, men beseech me Online, act as though blessed, hate to be defined, generally divorced as boast, bearing pitiful crests, chase shadows in overcoats, I firmly hold the line, hate these dating tests, they're dreadfully confined, I stare at the coast, sometimes ask myself. who will make me toast, suddenly I laugh.

Lily

He has such giving ways, brings me Bollinger, on early summer's days, what can we do alone, without relinqhuishing, circumstance all our own, wine pours down my face, it’s like a Christening, he cuts his famous cake, are we here or gone, nothing much to sin bin, we dream of the unknown, choose to chase and chase, lives act out as witness, better if we just pray, we stumble down the road, rattle chains in empathy, teat our great resolve, these are the best ways, singing not scared witless, huge hours to celebrate, calm restless spirits.

Katherine

our house beyond the dunes, sea roses beneath the sky, all i ever loved was you, a life that's been great, an absence always denied, creakier than the gate, God is not immune, he sees the real inside, surely he's not duped, fire burns in the grate, don't tell me how you lied, your plans before too late, is it me or turpitude, that wrestles with the tide, can't you see the ruins, a voice makes me agaitate, stories hung out to dry, being here in this place, makes only birds fly.

Josie

Do you remember the sea, the salt and the spray, our sweet dance of Thebes, now the kids have gone, suddenly flown away, the memomory is our own, we walk on the beach, at the end of each day, all our loving streets, every part of our home, suddenly feels drained, to find we're alone, you still grab my sleeve, pull me close and say, let's take our release, on this wind blown coast, you squueze my face, I smell your Cologne, catch horizons like these, makes me want to pray, buy me ice cream, it will all be OK.

Isabella

By the garden door, of Saint Phillip Neri, she witnesses the poor, cross Catherine Street, fear in their eyes, torn linen unclean, the soul of lost hordes, someone asks why, they slouch as they walk, who need arranged pity, when greed leaps so high, dances at every party, all of them taught, at feasts in black ties, to deny stuffy thoughts, perish such catastrophe, there'll be no inquiry, please don't feel guilty, expand from our shores, our world view identity, laughs at the noughts, in portfolio lives.

Hailey

Sometimes in this place, you just don't know, if it will be ok, the same with those, who never show, they just shrug and blow, if there's time to pray, please let me know, you always turn up late, how they break my bones, why can;t you allow, no one gets by alone, I really want to state, sunlight comes with stones, life is not a holiday, this Bistro trade is slow, a crowded bar atones, at least it is my own, oh for happy days, listening to a jazz solo, red wine’s not to waste, this cafe' is my home.

Gianna

In a supermarket park, her lovely face washed, by rain and river salt, she dresses to be decent, her trolley for a brush, looks at their blankets, lost without a spark, they lie here to rest, she's more than a clerk, it makes her real upset, when put to the test, gazing over their tents, life around here's stark, in ways she knows best, rage never hits the mark, thinks of what presence, needs to make any sense, about a City's expenses, locked out in some chart, they say it's a sequence, please have a heart, she gathers her baskets.

Frankie

Incandescant as a star, he's chasing numbers, leaves all doors ajar, on a different calendar, the boss sometimes wonders, lost with a great heart, then he buys a car, all it makes is trouble, does not run very far, right from the off, looking sad and bewildered, his tears flood the bar, ten years later on, I still hear his laughter, he didn't do extra parts, endured each false start, his life done surrendered, my lipstick is stark, love always hungers.

Emma

Won't it be great, to dance on fresh grass say summer's here again, sadly not a cruise, famous nights have passed, all our stuff cut loose, don't worry about gain, at supper wait till last, they will find us grain, forget what is our due, dispense with needing cash, just serve us up some gruel, we’ll walk again in grace, spit royally upon the mat, consider what remains, we can never choose, if we're posh or tat, all we have's our fuel, know what we celebrate, sun bounces down like glass, bring cognac to our taste, life really is a gas.

Daisy

Please don't make me sigh, fading stars nothing new, between the moon and sky, I enjoy being alone, instead of merely duped, within your sea of loans, don’t say it's all right, flush money like a sewer, better give change a try, in my make shift home, sing songs to barrel you, some of them on banknotes, sleep sweetly my butterfly, you’ll soon face the news, am Suddenly gone from view, you are in my periscope, it’s not me to presume, how you'll crack this code, malice turns me crude.

Camila

Singers dream of home, Arenas are lonely places, gazing out alone, grasping all our fright, that really is our fame, how the world seems bright, heaven to look out upon, the sea of lovely faces, shine like polished stones, from long summer flights, to every ezotic place, our soul's somehow light, but leave us on paths unknown, doubts creep in like waves, fear of that talent gone, waiters dance in fairy lights, bring cognac to our table, please God will be alright, our act of grace remain.

Bodie

Give me children and dogs, you can be who you are, lost in some hazy fog, please help me to realise, what's gone on so far, with someone so unwise, is this what you want, waiting for that part, a tidal wave in your car, west of these broken skies, the sea is like a scar, it always makes me rise, you need extra money lots, all my cards are marked, energy won't reach that far, does your new love suffice, assign you all she can't, little ones would be nice, grasp astonished stars ?

Amelia

Who do you want to suffer more, me or your wretched mother, outside her opera or foodstore, on a perfect sunny evening, the kids looked after by others, all your money goes on winning, you work out a knowing score, in life between the covers, who do you think you are, certainly wiser than me, in your sedan washed slumber, RayBans eye the front seats, sunlight glints on terrace floor, music you say brings lovers, everything about you knawed, I sip a long Campari, dusk is a sweet red colour, an Atlantic bay in Brittany, you'll die in broken waters.

Zoe

Love is a breakfast test, in this springtime of trauma, don't I feel blessed, sailing dangerously, with a would be Cassanova, all my troubles start with me, they roll around my head, it's a tremendous performance, like opening doors of a shed, howling like a banshee, my complaints grow enormous, why not just bend and breeze, Truth Social roars its manifest, everything inside me pauses, seeks wine at 8 am no less, shocked that am never at ease, a boat rocking in a storm, I try to calm the inner sea, will love see me home ?

Yana

Here's a gift for you, who do you think is first, with all the stuff you do, wish you’d never been born, ask if you ever thirst, when the money;s gone, the canticle sea is blue, you haven’t time for mirth, to know what's due is due, hide in books or 'phones, choose a trail well versed, always want to leave alone, now need another cruise, make creditor's life worse smile lazily in a Subaru, place bets on debt's front, stars and sails converse, is that what you want, brother be aware.

Xitlali

The bus weaves a ragged run, tyres shift over old bones, what is done is done, don’t pity us poor souls, life doesn't gift a throne, some rivers have no flow, anyone here can spot a bum, even take life as a joke, not where we come from, count pennies as stones, set a fire to life C’mon, die to wear fancy clothes, call upon the will of truth, sing in their best tones, will never sag or sluice, it’s for us young to go, seek fortune not forlorn, reach to change our home, walking down the road.

Willow

In the light of moon, nights cry out in sympathy, it will be happening soon, no matter what we sing, winds come wild and wintery, sweeten our little dreams, what's wrong with a tune dancing in worlds's symmetry, will make our features bloom, like luck or anything, when we become all shivery, that's the stone to fling, always ready for a feud, remind us when we're guilty, waiting for good news, days roll by thruh Spring, was it my effrontery, put a name to this ring, a time now of empathy.

Ginny

Was it worth the pain, beams bouncing in our room, smell of salt and grain, when now the springs groan, your face in dusky gloom, a solace or wrecked alone, useless as a home in shade, the shock of my perfume, brings me close to say, consult my lovely bones, play some radio tune, don't let me see you old, shall we greet the trains, escape the sourball blues, try to act constrained, beneath our song of hope, I'll wear again my costume, make you dance on stones, won't always be the same, me in this fancy trouve, not trying to refrain, what we chose as love.

Ursula

Cliffs climb like white cubes. smile scarce as scarecrows, a face our ancestors refused, subdued by your steady leap, you hurt us with your show, those dancing feet asleep, while looking for some truth, take theses hand and go, don't bend before the new, a knife wound is the sea, you're free to bestow, love to midnight’s teeming, smoke your last blues, by stars of May's Apollo, watch clouds race the moon, hold onto what you feel, return to warm our toes, sprinkle charms of oratory, learn what other know.
