This one you can entirely blame on the Series 1 reruns in Australia. I've
been playing the Pilot to death (roll on the DVD's) and the muse just
suddenly hit me upside the head at about 11.30 the other night. I got the
first verse down in about 2 minutes, and the next four in about 30 minutes.
Goes to show that when the muse hits, she hits hard!!! As you may have
guessed, this is about Logan and Max. As I work my way through Series 1,
you can probably expect more.
CHIMERA
In the dead of the night,
a year ago,
a chimera came into my life.
Smart, sexy, sassy –
a sarcastic whirlwind of a girl –
tough and funny and vulnerable.
She flew in from above,
and left in a shatter of glass,
a smart remark on her lips –
chaos in her wake –
She landed on her feet below like a cat.
I had to find her…
Where had she come from,
this will 'o' the wisp?
Was she just a thief, as she said?
Or an enemy to beat?
She was an enigma –
I had to know.
Bingo –
a courier to the office nextdoor,
I found my mysterious cat.
A visit to the messengers,
Cash changes hands,
and now I know where to find her.
Max - she saw who I am,
She saw what I do,
I had to know – was she a friend -
or did I need to fear for my life.
I did so want to finish what I had started,
But could I?
Or was it a physical attraction –
my new girlfriend…
He should mind his own business,
the 250 pound ex cop taken out by a size 3
Still, this is the most beautiful face
I have ever seen.
Dinner time – my cat arrives
fire in her eyes – anger in her moves.
She calls me bent
"I left you a present"…
I say she can stay here.
I had to see her.
Her face in the mirror -
I come on strong – too strong
the barcode on her neck… and then I back away.
Quid pro quo – her family for some help
But no – there are too many people after her
The fear in her eyes is too real.
Shots ring out – gunfire in a public place
My life can never be the same…
Three months later…
my cat breezes back into my life
with a "how you doin'?"
and a blast of attitude.
"Not in any pain…
the good and bad news of a blown out spinal cord…"
She blinks back a tear.
I'm back rocking the boat,
trying to fix a broken world,
Because somebody's got to…
And with Max's help,
I think I can make a difference.
