"i miss. america." she lives her life on stage, hair dye and makeup disguise her age, or she just makes up her age.  real or fake, at high stakes, her scent is enough for me to take the bait. cheating on fate, i cant wait, not realizin theres no time for outakes.  shes an actress and i act rich, sayin im more than average, are words enough for marriage.  to grazed knees, i say please, but only her hands can handle the demands of my load of stress, her patient ears could hear, as i confessed.  in a house made of bars and poles, she rolls like a model but not quite a role model, but i follow...3 doors down, a night on the town,  takin a chance with roxanne, i stand like dealers with rocks on their hands.
