Contribution no. 1 to Timberman’s challenge of a duet with Speck. This is the “all me” part of the duet. More to come but surely don’t wait….

Lyrics are a variation of previous work Charon, which may become a cycle:

Left My Slippers
aka Charon ( route 17 version)
(cc)BY 2016-04-05

I shaved my whiskers,
tied my tie,
wore my best suit—
better than I remember ever buying [myself]….

Starched shirt,
monogrammed cuff links,
a flower in my hand.

Left my slippers by the door.
The garlands in your hair beckon me on.
