snortin’ lines
between calamari bites
and swigs of ouzo
playing rebetiko
through the night.
You turn and kiss me
calamari ever so sweet tasting
we head to the vette
navigating the city maze
racing neighborhood streets
tires never touching ground.
For a moment I freeze in fear
as the vette sprouts wings, flying
home through stop lights
I feel death is near
my senses, ouzo laiden numb
I turn and smile, we'll die together
YOU, were my addiction.
