Monday Monday Someday Sunday Afternoon

Standing Ovation

at the opera
a once upon a time home
to big-titty strippers
selling Amway to repentant reptiles
crawling across sawdust floors
past the oyster shells
and muzzled yellow smoke
but
it isn't
it couldn't be
I don't know
do you know
last night's premier was free 
gratis for those who wore
a morning coat
collar mounted firmly to chin?
I thought so
and so it went
a flash
a sigh
a confession
a bed made only to be undone
by the fat lady singing
with no sparkle
no shine
trying to get over
many Sunday afternoon thoughts
repeated on Monday morning
Brava!

everybody wants to be my baby
Brings to mind, the only times I went to strip clubs with hubby and friends (very few, mind you) and on New Orleans and Mexico, where it is easy to lose your mind..the girls were so flat chested and not a one sported large fake boobs, as one might imagine. So natural yet so flawed. A sadness arose and not the usual arousal, one might think as not a one could smile, all the while, just writhing and moving to some distant, dire music without words. Got enough babies of my own!
thanks for reminding me tis monday. "house" in on tonight.
hey: i googled "brava" & got this:

Riffs.
Opera with strippers might get me to the opera house.
Nothing else will.
“Tristan und isolde” in the nude.
I really don’t see why no one has thought of this before me. Or was it you?
Good news, re. the “baby” front, chuck.

Once upon a time the strippers were real and wore feather boas and teased. Now everything is open to the world and isnt that a flat way to see things??

HUGGGGGGGGG
harpo couldnt have said it any better!
Not sure if you went to the opera or to a strip club or neither but I love your way with words and the fact that I have no idea.
it ought to be easier
after you turn down the lights
down low
way down
but it ain't easier to leave
when you return arrived
so confusing
Yes, and the ocean parts when I walk through, and the clouds dissolve and the sky turns blue
I'm held in very great value by everyone I meet but you
'cause I've used my talents as I could, I've done some bad, I've done some good
I did a whole lot better than they thought I would so, c'mon and treat me like you should!

Because everybody loves me, baby, what's the matter with you?
tell me what did I do to offend you?
this make sense to me
sunday afternoons
are ripe with thoughts

"last night's premier was free
gratis for those who wore
a morning coat"
(or was it a mourning coat?)

what a photo
?
I have read this 11 times now, and it was just as good at your other site.
