A New York State of Mind

Laying in the grass of time.

I flipped my last dime.

I wondered if my thoughts were a crime.

In this subliminal world of mine.

🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸

A touch on my face.

I felt your long extra-terrestrial finger trace.

You said you wanted to race.

I fell into your embrace.

🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸

Let’s see how the natives live.

I want to show you how to forgive.

Twelve juries deliberate until five.

I think the defendant is scratching his hive.

🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸

The seats are cold and dank.

The room is dark and rank.

The prosecutor has already set out for the bank.

Too bad the verdict left him full of stank.

🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸

12 Angry Men

Let’s count to ten.

Who do you think will win?

Let’s forget about this, and let's watch Big Ben.

🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸

Let's share a meat lovers pie.

Or would you prefer a Rueben on rye?

Either way, the Big Apple is the place to be.

It will be just you and me.

🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸

This world will deny your technological advancement.

I look forward to all your enhancements.

This is my one commandment.

Please do not leave me in disbandment.
