Start: Pumpkin: That sounded real good.

Blue: Don’t clap for that. Don’t ever clap for that.

Pumpkin: But...it was good.

Blue: Mediocre. I lost my rhythm. Let it take over. Ain’t never s’pose to let it take over.

[... .. ...]

End: Blue: I need you in every way. Touch me like you say and soften the pain. Love it all away so I can be somebody better.

Pumpkin: I will, baby. I will.

For time’s deft fingers scroll my brow With fell relentless art-- I’m folding up my little dreams Tonight, within my heart.
