Admission of heat. High minded on a weak hand, a sweet tooth, a taste bud, a dull nerve.
Decisions on the sun. A focus group of tubas, a bottle, a fortune in symbols.

Foreclosures on the moon. An orgy of vowels, a hard word, a long tone.
Admission to you. Art filling with numbers, I show you the answers.
A chorus of love all filled up with models of people that aren’t you.
Post-Script: Just a reminder that I’m asking folks to send love songs and lucre to some of the organizations I serve for the remainder of National Love Letter Writing Month.
