The Time to Choose

The

Time to choose,

Tiger Lily,

Is nearly here:

The sweet

Or the dark?

The demons that seemed

So glamorous earlier

Will have their pound of sin;

The words that sounded

Once delightful

Have their hooks in you.

Time to choose

Is getting closer

Tiger Lil:

Flight is possible,

Escape is not:

The fine bone fingers

Of the Satan-tango clock

Slide inexorably

Towards

Decision o’clock.
