Hallelujah

they say your heart gets bigger
when it breaks
scar tissue is a bitch

I'm no word wizard
not in the way
Leonard Cohen
Dorothy Parker and 
Bob Schneider
are
phrases forging keys 
to you 
to me

got lipstick on the pecorino 
ate the rind
I'll be on time
I see the other side

Met a parrot named angel 
all she said was 
hallelujah
