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
