...with confetti in my hair
Deal out Jacks or better
on a blanket by the stairs
I'll tell you all my secrets,
but I lie about my past
And send me off to bed forever more
I have gazed at the sunset on a beach in Jamaica, played cards in Vegas, visited the Taj Mahal in India, driven top-down on the Pacific Coast Highway, loitered on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, stared into the abyss we call the Grand Canyon, stood above the sunken USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor, and I have been to a wedding in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
And now, I have seen Tom Waits on stage.
