It started as a normal date
Some restaurant, some food, some wine.
He talked about oil pipeline
That he works for, and what he ate
For lunch, and problems with his spine.

She felt herself a little dead
Inside, he tried to touch her thigh.
So she stood up, and said "bye-bye,"
And walked outside, and spread
Her wings and flew to sunset sky.

When he gets drunk or stoned he likes to talk to lizard brain,
His own or someone's else is hard to tell in state
Of mind like that. The lizard brain is not ashamed to care
About mundane stuff such as survival, food and pain
That intellect finds insufficiently ornate
And hides behind the duty, art, and vanity, and prayer.

And uses rainy autumn day as chance to write sad song
Or two, or maybe as a good excuse to buy
A ticket for the plane that flies to little sunwashed town
Where sand is soft and fish is fresh and sunsets are so long.
For lizard rain is simply water from the sky
That's better to avoid to not get cold and not to drown.

Two boys were chatting after school.
Jack said he goes to Wonderland
To ride the unicorns through pines,
And dine with goblins in their mines,
And then see concert of a band
Of elves, and Billy called him fool

With silly dreams who must mature
And not talk bullshit about place
That science says does not exist.
Jack smiled and stepped into the mist
Where carpet's hidden just in case
He'll want to fly to distant moor

Where giant raccoon teaches him wit.
While Billy has his pop-sci books,
And thoughts about girls, and chin
To shave, and college to get in,
And bills to pay, and tired looks,
And all the other adult shit.
