The Holy Grail (for idiots)
In traffic, you putting on chapstick drinking Pabst Blue
allow that to be attractive- it becomes higher than you
thinking nothing sexier than high heels and cheap booze
think of me when howling 90/h on downers down West. Ave.
Boy assimilated smile wobbly as paper miche
some of it red clay- residue of taxi-yellow naked disarray
feel miles away
in a balloon
on dope
observing;
Listen to their talk and lose your tongue
wish to god for a blowgun
reward her clumsy search for your lips
with two dislodged clips and a check for
assorted chocolates-
Put that in your red shoe click
home is relative
especially when all you have
is dead relatives
really it isn't so bad as I embellish it
fuck heritage, give me a 25 grand inheritence
this because your stupid fucking mother couldn't carry shit
or bury shit with dad because her kids were an embarrassment
I bleary-eyed remember waking up at night aware of this
now it's like it never even happened what's the difference?
That I could love severely and forget I ever loved
I could mean to you what has never meant so much
and I could cry my stupid mouth apart in metal verse
but know at heart what I impart has clearly been rehearsed.
Elbow traffic work fingers to callous
this is turning a hooker back into an accountant
this is Butler Creek--to Marylou--a palace
fuck Alice, I bought wonderland with last week's allowance.
Dry your tears and weak words
on tissues of mammoth intent
hold the truth secret
their bodies seperate
each scent
whatever the world's contempt
the tiniest measurements
of people like us
against people like them
will never top an inch--
.ratios will launch us into something enormous.
