Aspirations, flat refusals
Childhood bedrooms, disapproval
Would be authors, erstwhile singers
Costume j**elry, ballpark figures
Naked power, basic sidekick
True love's call gone unrequited Great hosannas, Sunday Christians
Broken Spanish, postcard missions
Payed compa**ion, sponsored mercy
Remunerated soul searching
Wishful thinking, best intentions
Friendships based on chain-link fences Silent partners, business ventures
Closet smokers, payday lenders
Rolex watches, walk-in closets
Floodlights drained on open faucets
Great hosannahs, grinning Barrick
What ruthless men stand to inherit
