SWIM WITH SAM Sam here says he lost his call on the day Cousteau had died the ocean was a tub of sharks with Jacques-Yves as a guide Sam here says the water’s safe that man should not have left the seas called the Human Bathyscaphe he’s King of Expertise so if someone wants to know and asks you where I am you say you saw me go for a swim with Sam Sam here says they call him ‘nice’ and that it makes him really sick that his ‘nice’ is like ‘polite’ and silence does the trick Sam here says he’d like to go somewhere far away from here to a sea that no one knows to completely disappear so if someone wants to know and asks you where I am you say you saw me go for a swim with Sam don’t try to talk me out of this not while I’m here in Carla’s seat ‘the sea has many drops of water but the salt won’t let you taste the sweet’ go, go!

ONCE A DREAMER,... I was this dreamer in advance then life showed up in the middle of my plans so maybe it was not the pact it sure was good - the best in fact I may say I have changed – I have cried and sworn a lot once it was gone I saw what I got I reminisce more than I should but I miss feeling special and looking good I may say I have changed – I sure have changed and I do dream, it’s just not the same sometimes I think I really hate you for the doubter I became
