CHAMBER OPERA IN TEN ACTS WITH ONE-YEAR INTERMISSIONS

1. I don't recall what happened then,
we probably just went home.

2. Don't hang me on a xmas tree,
I cannot glow with a carol in my mouth.

3. It was cold then and it's cold now,
but then it had a better story.

4. We don't hold the door open for the night…
it catches up with us just as we reach out…

5. We'll never again set foot in her kitchen
while the drunken grin of fall embraces the clock…

6. Of course, summer too slobbered its
warm soup of tears on our sunglasses.

7. No more was said on the subject…
silence walked us home in heavy boots.

8. Once I was tempted to touch a pair of lips,
but luckily words got there first.

9. A message almost landed on me once…
I died on the spot and started doing the dishes.

10.We went home before the show ended,
and we don't go out any more…
the night comes to visit us almost twice daily.
