One for the Money

One for the money
two for the shoe
three to go steady

Now that’s a waltz
across Venice
with Susan

Then easy lounge
on our dos-à-dos
rear to gear

Tipped over resembles
the Los Angeles Basin
but the Bay empty

The rush and roll
of a crushed sea
as we run away

To escape the beasts
the biblical babble
of Hollywood

Wait – run too extreme
we waltz off
in closed position.
