    Through the winding

    Near the sand on the hill,
    hearing the music float up.

    Wiggle flex
    round the corner in 1983,
    when she loved me.

    Warble snobble in 1983,

    China Girl don't seem to
    use much English,
    gets enough
    to leave me a pot of tea.

    We hit the pothole

    more or less.

    Mulberry pie and ice cream in 1983,

    Japonica Julie in 1983,
    when she loved me.

    I knew it was late,
    when she stumbled.
    Overcast in the fog,
    ...fumbled.

    She was looking at me
    by the old oak,
    that can't be,
    she knows as well as me.

    Left on Avalon Road
    past Mazzio's Pizzeria,
    to the park-side
    of Alta Vista.

    By the dunes,
    fading dream in 1983,
    when she loved me.

    Smiling blinky in 1983,
    when she loved me.

    Julie went away?

    Julie got married... it happens.

    But what about Pasko and the fine folks at Pizza Roma?

    Last I heard, Pasko and family are doing great.

    Japonica Julie (1983)

    Through the winding
    mists of Edgewood,
    stand on the backporch
    smoking.

    Near the sand on the hill,
    hearing the music float up.

    Wiggle flex
    round the corner in 1983,
    when she loved me.

    Warble snobble in 1983,
    when she loved me.

    China Girl don't seem to
    use much English,
    gets enough
    to leave me a pot of tea.

    We hit the pothole
    on Primrose
    that landed us here
    more or less.

    Mulberry pie and ice cream in 1983,
    when she loved me.
    Japonica Julie in 1983,
    when she loved me.

    I knew it was late,
    when she stumbled.
    Overcast in the fog,
    ...fumbled.

    She was looking at me
    by the old oak,
    that can't be,
    she knows as well as me.

    Left on Avalon Road
    past Mazzio's Pizzeria,
    to the park-side
    of Alta Vista.

    By the dunes,
    fading dream in 1983,
    when she loved me.

    Smiling blinky in 1983,
    when she loved me.

    stand on the backporch
    smoking.

    Near the sand on the hill,
    hearing the music float up.

    Wiggle flex
    round the corner in 1983,
    when she loved me.

    Warble snobble in 1983,
    when she loved me.

    China Girl don't seem to
    use much English,
    gets enough
    to leave me a pot of tea.

    We hit the pothole
    on Primrose
    that landed us here
    more or less.

    Mulberry pie and ice cream in 1983,
    when she loved me.
    Japonica Julie in 1983,
    when she loved me.

    I knew it was late,
    when she stumbled.
    Overcast in the fog,
    ...fumbled.

    She was looking at me
    by the old oak,
    that can't be,
    she knows as well as me.

    Left on Avalon Road
    past Mazzio's Pizzeria,
    to the park-side
    of Alta Vista.

    By the dunes,
    fading dream in 1983,
    when she loved me.

    Smiling blinky in 1983,
    when she loved me.

    Again, an example of real life poetry, life that is transformed into art, such as:

    Through the winding

    stand on the backporch
    smoking.

    Near the sand on the hill,
