Derby and the Rose
He sat at his white chrome desk; a dictionary detective looking for just the right words to say,
"But baby, a diamond is forever"
Hazel eyes and grey skies
And bicycle rides and lullabies
And apple pies
Had somehow become sad goodbyes.
He now came home to blown glass in a white tiger hallway
And calculated messes and housewife dresses
What's under that wide-brimmed hat that shields you from the sun
And from eye contact with your own demons?
An army of raindrop overcoats with hidden agendas
And white ghost branches against your window
His soft scream was muffled by memories
Of his patent schoolboy dream
