Area 51
I’ll be your muse
You can be my
Come as you are
Work hard
Live by night
Fly by day
angel
off white
Speed in the slow lane
We only have
100 miles to go
Before we reach
The Luxor
That light I swear
Reminded me of
Déjà vu
In utero
I met him at the after-hours on Van Ness
One morning
I think his name was Tous
He told me he knew I had a brain
I would later learn he took his own life
A lost battle, I guess.
Men and women
We’re not so different after all
