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.
