a poet vowed to marry me but i didn't cause him enough heartache
so he left me for my wild sister and when his lungs were full of pain
he came back and breathed on me all day
the more the disguise
the less underneath
i was so bashful when i met you
you had to buy me sunglasses
saturdays spent on riversides
scraping warm mud off of our boots
with the cold bones of last winter's homeless
you talked politics and i played with fire
as a child your mother dyed your hair blonde
so hers would look natural
you walked clumsily with clenched fists
an extension of her beauty
after she went bald from weekly bleach jobs
you shaved your head and burnt the trailor to the ground
we yell profanities at the riverboats
and hold hands with our eyes screwed shut.
Imperfections in the pavement
Monochome and short demensions
Everyone I've ever met
Has been an anchor with pretentions
I'd like to meet a butterfly
I'd like to meet a priest
I'd like to meet a dinosaur
Who wasn't such a beast
With claws for tails and tooth for teeth
and angry fists right underneath
I'd climb eight stories and tear it down
I'd take the photograph midfrown
I'd drown you with reality
You're all alone and close to me
Tastes like butter and smells like Rome
Only home when I'm alone.
You fucked up
Like a shoe-less pony at the tour de France
You didn't have a chance
The more I see of the general stance
The more I walk crooked
girls like dangerous men
if you're lonely
let yourself go
push a hooker down a flight of stairs
and if the adoration gets to be too much
(or too little)
do it again!
and if you're on that other side of despair
remember that words are just words
there is no number higher than one
your best friend is lying to you
you're meerly a pet to anyone who keeps you close
and all's well,
all's fair,
so it's not going to matter if you're not always there.
you're a killer
and heart is just a wishful weakness
in other people.
