She's smarter than you know, he said
She's got much more than that
She'd paint you into corners
And then she'd call you too abstract
She's got a sense for color
But no sense for timing
She can't drive a boat
But she's aquamarine
And cobalt blue
In the studio, by the studio
On a couch on wooden floors
On a coffee table carved to look
Bigger than the doors
There's a cat with extra tails and
A dog with human feet
There's a tension in the space
Where secret voices used to speak
And somewhere there's a picture
Of a German family and skinny little girl
Born with an American picture of a highly colored acrylic world
In a dance of decent manners
And a well scripted serenade
The song was lifted from a recording
Made in Europe in a drunken state
And while there's no paint on his tile
And no records in her room
Her ears ring constantly
The long regards of a dedicated tune
And somewhere there's a picture
Of little hearts and legendary local brews
Unburdened by your standard florida pallet of pastel hues
And local tunes.
