Jailed and decreased, my dough­nuts rise.

Have a feath­er, don’t ask why,

There is a Coney Island in my eye.

Hair and plaid rabbits,

Anniver­sal belief is the strongest to go

Over a list­less sky, a pre­ve­nient frost.

Let’s go to the Cloisters

And all you can eat sushi

My tat­too should be healed now.

Dear, you are a norm­ing leg­end in the kitty-star.

I eat for two, on the evening of

We knew each oth­er before our faces and our names.
