Start Me Up

Got a crank for a crank?

I just takes a smile from

a beautiful woman and I

remember I'm still alive.

But, then, I try to dance

and remember I'm antique.

Keep the defibrillator 

handy if I get out of hand.

Old, dried up wood burns

quickly, and is easily

extinguished.

Why does trauma hang 

around so long, yet, we

can't remember the

lovemaking so clear?

Maybe because, while

it was happening, we

forgot who we were.
