3D

The character actor plays romantic leads and the kitten curls in wet
anticipation
The opportunity is here
It’s not the first time, it’s not a dream, she cowers in the corner,
she pretends
It’s just a scene
The Maitre D' has seen it all before, the actor, the actress, the gigolo,
the whore
Between the lines, between the sheets, there’s no rehearsal, they make a deal,
he’ll soon be home
Living in Wonderland, the grass is so green
Tongue-tied, a dry mouth swallows a scream
Yours to pretend, it’s yours to pretend, this trip never ends, it’s coming at
you
In 3D
The freeway’s jammed, the lights bleed red, and the anger gathers in the fog,
I meditate in green
A wall of horns, blasts away, and the exit road to Jericho stands steady,
held in amber beams that play on misty screens and smoky cars whose occupants
mouth curses at a world that doesn’t hear
Living in Wonderland, the grass is so green
Tongue-tied, a dry mouth swallows a scream
Yours to pretend, it’s yours to pretend, this trip never ends, it’s coming at
you in 3D
