Catalyst



He

Used to work here

In her garden

But he don't no more



Spellbound

By his pansies

He caressed them

On the greenhouse floor



She

Was the lady

On the outside

Searching, elegant, finally



He

Was the lowball

Cocker Spaniard

That we all ignore



Mister Sam don't look so good no more

I've never seen him cry out loud before



One

Lovely evening

Left abandoned

By her China man



She

On the rebound

She amazed him

With her sleight of hand



Smoking

Fragrant opium

Wild gambling

All the signs of a lifetime of



Leisure

With no worries

All the details

So precisely planned



Mister Sam don't look so good no more

Ia€™ve never seen him cry out loud before



Long

Past midnight

In the half light

Just before the dawn



Broken

Sorry animal

By the greenhouse

On the southeast lawn



Standing

Almost human

Crying please

And the screams could be heard



We are told

By a neighbor

Who was wakened

By his tuneless song



Mister Sam don't look so good no more

I've never seen him cry out loud before
