Metaphors for Cool

It's in color but not finished

like a guy in a suit

but with a big apple where his head should be

It's potato chips wearing a kilt

I remember there was a stairway and a cigarette

God, I want a cigarette

And music

Good music

something that sounds like Thin Lizzy's "Jailbreak"

Back porch

Chug a lug

This week's imported beer

Talking about

The revolution, revelation, big old bourgeois blues

Talking over the hidden meanings of 1984 and a Clockwork Orange

Pretentious as hell

And you just want to shout "soup cans, enough with the soup cans, I'm gonna slit my wrists if I see anymore of these damn soup cans"

Someone lit a pipe

Cherry tobacco

I still want a cigarette

Been years since I've had a cigarette

Stop

And whistle

Smile for a second

And whisper.

" that color really brings out your eyes"
