untitled iii

a lot riding on this 
a new poem rising 
a new lease on life
a tune to learn

a handshake 
a handsome man 
my own heartbeat 
my own analysis 

you decide the end
you get the point
you get angry 
fall apart realize

a new opening 
a fatal flaw 
a bad snack 
a devil woman 

a portrait of me 
down to clown 
down to earth 
open on up 

get down to
get over it 
get thru it
