I like

I like
long walks
on the astral plane
beating everyone at my own damn game
taking things in stride where I should have stood still

letting everything ride, on one toss of the wheel
I am loaded as dice, I speak clearly
as feel, I make consequences happen
by savoir-faire

I like
straightening my hair,
with one pass of the hand

I don't even use a mirror
I'm just feeling it, man

I like
picking my way
I like
winking at dudes
I like
smiling at girls

calling enemies
"FRIEND"

I like
helping old ladies
decide what to rent
at the video store
without spoiling the end

I like
antique cocktails, I like
ordering drinks

and I don't really care
what the bartender thinks
if he says he don't know
what it is, I just shrug
"Hey man, neither do I -
improvise something up!"
