FxDx.
A change came over the man.
Without need for explanation or milder character.
A name lay in the shadows... tested,
Bemusement... tested, but not for gain; observation.
His elation, his risk shown and his cover blown.
In a room for one man.
(A stage for every man)
Something needed to be said, started... like a bloom.
Treatment deprived, he holds his direction
a man free of discretion.
For now, its not too late.
So now it is with assertion...

CHARLIE WONG.
I'm searching for something, these names ever circling like a hive under bees; I find there's only one Charlie Wong.

LIVING CREATURE.
Hey Living Creature,
To you I’m just a moving puzzle. I wish I could explain.
But I’ll tell you as you tell me, it’s vision - we see.
A hand removed, your eyes clenched tight, both open again.
And leaving you be ...you’ll wait
And leaving you there ...you’ll watch
But if no one returns you’ll die without arms
A horizon of grief lights our own disbelief
You nuzzle, I’m puzzled. Its not what you’re showing to me.
And I will follow you though I try to resist the game.
And you resist the way the world ...the way the world I see.
But if your last breath was caught
You’d forget you’er ever distraught
Beyond all your pain you see love rearranged
We’d be here - are we going? Don’t stop and explain.
We’d be here - are we going? Don’t stop and explain.
So we share the dawn and the dusk - the stars return can’t you see
And the middle’s never near or long enough.
And I don’t want to go home…
And you don’t want to go it alone...
Don't stop and explain.

RADIATION.
Time is not showing me anything, but
she’s come a little.... closer now.
Radiates immortality;
she doesn’t take the time to dream away today.
Where, where shall I find it within myself
to break the gaze?
My mind is seized by the sounds of the words I say
Say the things I hear, but was too afraid...
So she breaks away within my range, anything but
suddenly there’s a chance so
I... can’t.... stay
Time is unforgiving; I’m anything but...
a little... closer now.
Radiates my mortality;
She doesn’t have the time to dream away today.

TO YOU, ALL.
You call. I'll come running. I see me fall.
And you stall. When I catch you I feel tall.
Pick me up. When I catch you I get stuck. I guess I'm in luck.
But I'll come running.
But I'll come running... to you, all.
To you, all.
[You gotta hold it.]
When I catch you I feel free. An aromatic gravity.
This is life and... and what you see.
But I'll come running... to you, all.
I'll come running... to you, all.

SUNDAY COMES TOO LATE.
[Sunday: it comes too late.]
Give another day; give another answer.
Sunday always comes too late. It's just another revelation.
Another turn of living. Another turn of disaster.
Give another day. Give another answer.
[Age: a half life no overt decay]
[Age: a measure of nothing but time]
[Age: a privilege, a state of decline]
Give another day; give another answer.
Sunday always comes too late. It's just another revelation.
They won't be alone. They can take and be taken.
Give another day. Give another answer.
Age:...
It's just another revolution...
[Its too late, Sunday always comes too late.
Equally disturbing diversions.
Give another day, no overt decay
Take another cast make it plaster.
Make you every day a best one.]
[Sunday: it comes too late.]
