talkin’ ’bout sadness
and the way life used to be
before it fell apart
and who knew?
only the man in the shadows
in his ash overcoat
he said to me
strange, crazy words
told me ’bout a place called Sugars
where the ladies are so fine
where women wear no clothes
and dance like sparklin’ wine
to a tune called Ecstasy
feelin’ good all the time
and you know
life turns on a dime
like the coin on your table spinnin’ round
— Ted Webb, graduate student
