Smoky Caroloke

____________________________________________________________________________________

You can listen to the classic version of
Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
by the PLATTERS

But on Monday night,
except for a room full
of 64 year-old teenagers,
only one person could
hear me sing it.

She listened through
her cellphone.

I dedicated the song
to her.


And then she wrote...




Missing Monday entry
From the GoodFather
But a song was sung
That reached my heart
Like no other one

Smoke from him,
Song from him,
Sing of the slow
missing clear sight
Snow and smoke

Months of Mondays
Due to sightlessness
Insight into Mrs. Carpeo
Celebrated in a logo
Paul gets in my eyes
