|
I saw you wheezing in the cut throat chorus, |
|
The tv has been on channel blue in your house for a week and a half, |
|
Sounding like a filtered carnival, |
|
Like screaming children on a ferriswheel... |
|
I saw you in the ghetto with your angel eyes poked out, |
|
On your hands and knees in class looking for your contact lenses... |
|
There are very few microwaves in the third world... |
|
What if you were tied to a flagpole |
|
In your underwear with your hair shaved off, |
|
And a bag of money hanging from your ankle? |
|
You could tan your scalp in the noon sun. |
|
You could feel the wind on your open chest. |
|
Against a blue sky, almost anything looks cinematic. |
|
If you can teach a dog to play the kazoo, |
|
If an ape can take an interest in his hairstyle, |
|
It only follows that you'd enjoy a morning jog in high heels |
|
While your dance shoe feet bleed. |
