  1. That's almost exactly like a wedding party I attended in Palo Alto, CA, in the mid-1990s. Except, I may have arrived there too early or too late. I tried to get up on the steps next to the main house, but I was shooed down. Couldn't overview all the activity.

  2. "Imitation Of Life"

    Charades, pop skill
    Water hyacinth, named by a poet
    Imitation of life
    Like a koi in a frozen pond
    Like a goldfish in a bowl
    I don't want to hear you cry

    That's sugarcane that tasted good
    That's cinnamon, that's Hollywood
    C'mon, c'mon no one can see you try

    You want the greatest thing
    The greatest thing since bread came sliced
    You've got it all, you've got it sized
    Like a Friday fashion show teenager
    Freezing in the corner
    Trying to look like you don't try

    That's sugarcane that tasted good
    That's cinnamon, that's Hollywood
    C'mon, c'mon no one can see you try

    No one can see you cry

    That sugar cane that tasted good
    That freezing rain, that's what you could
    C'mon, c'mon on no one can see you cry

    This sugarcane
    This lemonade
    This hurricane, I'm not afraid
    C'mon, c'mon no one can see me cry

    This lightning storm
    This tidal wave
    This avalanche, I'm not afraid
    C'mon, c'mon no one can see me cry

    That sugar cane that tasted good
    That's who you are, that's what you could
    C'mon, c'mon on no one can see you cry

    That sugar cane that tasted good
    That's who you are, that's what you could
    C'mon, c'mon on no one can see you cry
