La’Boom: French Lightning

You think you know how to smile?
What it is, what it does
A foolish fool waiting to suck up the breeze for a while
And a mistress tossing her red dress in the snow
But talk about
A discourse untranslated,
Straight from the books of writing eyes
Lips to lips, big toe over small
And a cornucopia liquefied for ink
But talk about
Its how your color your picture
During turbulence on an airplane
A fabulous mistake
And a snoring suit to keep you awake
But talk about
Velour women with styrofoam men
A liaison between flutters and flout
Still, stores are overstocked with cases of giggles
And too many super sized lives to count
But talk about….
What’s left but the blackness in my ear?
And the same noise from yesteryear
Blah blah blah in a library of candles to lighten
Yada yada to dilute the flavor
I’ve heard it and still will
When a lightning bolt speaks
It has something to talk about
