I married a man, 1993

As alike and as different as people can be …

A place for everything and everything in its place

A solid plan of action, sure smile on your face …

Eat. Drink. Sleep. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

And thank God for another day gone by you’re not dead on your feet …

Adam and Eve, Samson and Delilah

Porgy and Bess, Prince Charming, Cinderella …

In the diner, on the corner

Where I used to play draw poker

And drink warm beer ‘til I ran out of quarters …

Cleaned out my closets, cupboards and drawers

Cleared the air, opened my windows and doors …
