The Vision
This vision in lily white shimmers under a golden night
He can see her, though he cannot feel her.
Summer showers soak moonlit flowers
Amid boardwalk strolls and highway tolls
Paperback sessions read late-night confessions
Of white castles and graduation tassels
Crystal clear persuasion
Defies an explanation
The answers flow fast
Through the bottom of a glass
Cotton candy sweetens kettle corn
Apple brandy sears a mother’s scorn
Peanut shells crack wedding bells
Daydream spells ride sea-foam swells
Silent screams pierce ultra high beams
Reality check finds a noose round the neck
Time to swallow
The rest will follow
Praise the lord
Pull the cord
