Perplexium / Lucidium

When all my cynicism doesn't
bring anyone down or lift me up
and I have to shut my trap,
schtum
I imagine a scene where you
change into your model singer
dancer actor T‐shirt and culotte
shorts and whisper to me, in code.
   Through all our twists and turns
and distances, sometimes misty,
there'll always be a bridge
and you say, I thought you'd shut
up for the night
and I nod
