Image Isn't Everything
Life is what you make it
(broken or not)
a hammer, a chisel
hard granite, soft clay
molded, an image
but thru whose eyes I say
I'm not fancy china
put away with bubble wrap kisses
(im)pressed with a tie
to wow the rich misses
I'm a street corner crooner
come to take you away
we'll drag race the sunset
keeping nighttime at bay
stripped down and naked
all the way to our core
we howl in the silence
the outside ignored
fresh morning coffee
looking out at the rain
a sip of seduction
more wisdom I gain
each notch I care not
for when simply it's done
with sunglasses upon us
it's just you and me under the sun

I love that the only word in your author's note is "happiness..." It's absolutely perfect for this one. It's like a bubble of joy bouncing down the lines. :-)

Oh please tell me I inspired the drag race line (if not then lie to me and tell me I did) and why does the sunglasses remind me of "I wear my sunglasses at night" from back in our day, lol. (That's code for we are old!)

It's a good thing I didnt flash you from Dega! For with my luck of late I would be frozen on the jumbotron screens! For ever mocking me!! Upstaged by my own "girls".

Love this, Tim. It focuses on what matters between a man and woman - not materialistic matter.

Happiness is the humans natural state, anything else isn't right, beautifully said.
