In the bustling inn


In the bustling inn
Most patrons are smoking 
I offered you one
Your eyes stiffened 

I laid before you 
A map of Hollywood 
Electricity at each step 
You looked unyielding 

Maybe you prefer 
Ripples of the river 
Just a gentle shiver 
From the tips of fingers 

Very well, my dear 
Please choose your own spring
