stay strong stanley
bigger than ‘hurricane sandy’)
(the place where:
weathering ‘hurricane sandy’)
(before you “call it a day”)
(‘homo ricardo’ meets ‘asperger andy’)
stay strong in the heat of a moment
collapse on the couch
(then crouch and say your prayers)
even in front of a mirror…
your vanity shows
and it permeats the room like a sweet perfume
before it ‘goes’
(BEFORE i’m “gone for good” this time)
do what you gotta do
before they start turning the screws (on you)
(ESPECIALLY in front of a mirror…)
