give me a moment.
give me a moment to tell you why i slide like drowzy marching boys
in a sand parade throughout the cotton streets.
waving my white flag around
waving my little white flag around.
i use it as a bonnet, i wear it like a slip.
the sun has gone
to shine her shoes
behind the curtains i close
everynight.
the tar is still sticky
like the honey of your sweet words
when i lie down in the middle
of the street.
the rape of the girl who drove the chariot,
the full depression of the swollen sky.
i sleep away these burning days,
and lie awake everyight.
there must be something about you
that makes me feel like Juliet.
study the way i move.
like a heavy eyelid shutting,
like an ocean wave consuming.
slink. slide. slink. slide.
i'm sending out a distress call.
boy,i need someone to help me out.
when you are searching for a piece of a girl who's already broken,
i'll be in the ocean
waving my white flg around.
waving my little white flag around.
