eventually songs


electric boots walk up the stairs.
these boots are somehow connected to smiles.
anticipation, like hope and doubt and laughter, 
is contagious.
somehow. trust me. heels turn black. light the path.
strange steps are good steps.

inspiration happens.
I will always be interested in smiles and stories.
not just once. find some fun. and I will call when I can.

her toes are in those boots.
living little lives themselves.
while.
the brightest of stars nick the glass sky.
so blue. deep. bitterest. rue.
don't call me Benjamin.
I cannot stay still. tear-falling hill. seeking my love. I cannot stay still.

the trees and the flowers will bloom for aye.
but the glories of youth will soon fade away.

so, remember, and let's go swimming and eat ice cream.
