I said: I see the capped drinks now.
She said: they are smoking.
I said: I can dig that.
A chick karaokes my favorite Little Mermaid song.
Quite well, in fact,
as she did not
make it

The other girl I mentioned,
She said: this was my favorite movie as a child.
I say: me too. Hair flowing under water, huh?
The next gal sings
Jolene
/please don’t take him just because you can/
She sings it well,

<A lyric simply sung>

About nine years.
And, I wonder:

And, Some-one yells: I don’t know what Betty Davis…what are Betty Davis eyes?
I think: Howlarious.
The smell of cigarettes drifts in and some fellow howls: set me free.
And, I wonder: can
anyone but you “unchain your heart and set you free?”
The screen reads: musical
break 12 measures.
I count to twelve
In-time
@ least I do in a different

Musical break: 8
measures
He says: check, check,
sixteen times.
On-time.
