I misunderstood the holy voice

It came out of a desert

Or perhaps the ear of a woman

It ran up the velvet sash in a dark theatre

On a rain soaked night

"Are you ready?"

"Ready for what?!"

"Umm I'll get back to you. Mom?"

I walked to the nearest bar. 

"Fernet. Make it a double."

"Didja ever hear the one about the Chinese couple getting married?"
