HYPNOTIZED

by Nevada Kerr


The face under this mask
Was harrowed and racked
Tell me why when I ask
Count to ten and relax

A maudlin marriage mirage
The tallest timber ablaze
Your burning bedroom garage
You've seen better days

I'll let you down easy
You won't feel a thing
The payments are measly
Blow the whistle and sing

I see through your smoke
The daybreak eclipse
Your tiresome jokes
And nonsensical quips

Pleasure potion or power
The soft touch of my hand
Keep your door-to-door dower
I've got you at my command
