Real scene... but I'd heard a fellow on PBS the night before that told such great stories set to cool jazzy music... and I just did this as an experiment for fun... kind of a one take thing... hope you have fun listening...

Chinese Food & Dreams in LA

Yes or no should I or not
Invade her space while her foods still hot?
Should I observer from afar, should I dare to snoop
Is this really and angel eating won ton soup?
She seems so busy so intent to finish
Hard as I tried I couldn?t find a single blemish
Will she think I?m a poet or a fool?
Does a girl like this ever drool?
Will she smile will she talk a while?
Will she like that I?m riding a bike?
L.A. ladies usually prefer Mercedes
No, she didn?t offer her eyes
Or turn to me with her knees
Maybe she just doesn?t speak body language
With the greatest of ease
But then she left as quickly as she came
Didn?t even bother leaving (me) her name
Well I dreamed of lost days ahead
Lazy afternoons in an unmade bed
A raven haired Juliet? that we never had
But then a bare breasted Juliet went sailing by
In a Blue double stroller she caught my eye
Her proud Jewish Papa and her brother near
Is it really too late, is my sweet Juliet already here?
Then the police arrived and broke my dream
A skate boarding Hispanic, coffee no cream
Chinese food on Melrose another day
Dreams come with Chinese food in LA
