bus drivers, outside / scratching cards furiously / sorry; drive those kids

real good move, cobra / back to the Bronx Zoo for you / it's a crazy borough

teach me, my new peeps / burlesque phrases, some potent / like 'clitty litter'

Dressing room lights hide / many faults, transgressions, fear / stage lights highlight souls

gasping for breath, light / with forlorn intensity / 'til next summer love

teaching life's lessons / without halos, with tenure / our teachers, bless them

candle and feather / fifteen steps to the Temple / where is Elijah?

how do I love thee? / rumbling trains, shaking windows / DUMBO's heart beating

spring, often fleeting / bask in, treasure each mild breeze / like loves in your life
