I went to a Ragtime Bar

In the South of the City

Where I met a girl of rare acquaintance

She asked if she might come to my apartment

(which was cooler than her basement flat)

We chatted about orchids for about half an hour

I asked her about the scar on her arm

Which was caused by a fall from a horse

(the scar is healing but the memory is fresh)

Later we sat on a flat musical beach

Sharing sodas red white and green

In the distance there was a fine yacht

Which was sailing through

The Blush Shadows

Pink Orange Yellow and Blue
