Nanny, I will see you on Sunday
Palm to palm, washed. Surrounded by venetian pink walls

Rose Du Barry pink sink?
Greener shabby scalloped teacups

Earl Grey
Sweet

Malty
Much too much sugar

Diminished flavor palate
Sharp mind

Bergamot
Intensely cutting flavor

Please, dance with me in Italy.
Calm on the outside
Trembling within
Strength of a man
Heart of a child

Why didn't they teach me
About life in school
Why didn't they advise
It could be so cruel

Just grow up and realise
You're on your own
Fumbling with emotion
Swim or drown

They all seem in control
Like they have it all
While I smile and struggle
With no idea what to do

Life, may just be
Pay bills and die.
