time is the only thing
that stands between us now


because you will 
be mine once i part the curtains
abundant and flowing across
the sea of possibility

because you will
i invented a new word
it means nothing hasn't happened
yet that can't be unhappened yet

because you will
an old lonely man sits in
his car outside the HEB in
bee cave. his menacing grey beard

because you will
i'm dreaming in this world
awake and dreaming in this
wonderful world full of possibility

because you will
i used to believe in choice but
now i see there is only one way
everything will go down

To quote Kelly Bensimon of Bravos HONY "It's like you're up there and I'm down here." hahaha

Pull the curtain, grab the thorn, crave the rose and be happy!

Love is a mutual fund
mutually we have fun
some are in bond
or rather bondage
which grows slow
and won't let go
others are in stock fund
who became laughing stock
in the end
especially
when 4 funds are involved
which make it a love rectangle
but it could spawn into a
love pentagon very quickly
depending on how many concerts
the rodeo show livestock holder gives in a day
and how many starving sax maniacs show up
singing in thong...
So Love is safer when Invested in
multi-faceted diamonds
sharpened in a mine somewhere
in the polygamy brown world of Utah
By Laugh-A-Lot
