i can dress up in my peacoat
with the big furry hood.
i can throw some red lipstick on
with a little bit of gloss.
throw some sean lennon on
and some of that avante-garde.
and trust it will look classy
and she thinks i have money
and thinks im lying when i say i dont.
and then my smile throws her off
and then her smile throws me off.
and then his smile throws me off.
and that girl on the sidewalk with that strange look on her face.
and that boy sitting next to her with that destrutive frown.
and the $6 that i gave her i was sure would go to some sort of drink.
maybe not enough for vodka, but enough for a morning beer.
and she made me a flower
out of a palm leaf
and i wasnt going to take it
but she insisted.
and i took it. and they smiled. a smile that threw me off.
and she said now i can get breakfast.
and i was sure it was going to some sort of a drink. maybe not enough for vodka, but enough for beer i think.
and i drove up to my house
and back down towards the beach
and on my way to work, after grabbing some coffee.
i see her and that boy.
and they are coming out of jack in the box.
and she has her breakfast.
and it is not vodka
and it is not a beer.
and it throws me off.
and it makes me smile.
