Une Gravure Fantastique
This one ghost undercoverhaving nothing for all your little toilings
Asking the men in the wet cavecamped out in front of all your little cries
The Queen’s and the Pope’s Geri curlssmells the carnival
No aprons, no running waterhe shuffles up the horses
A ghost writes like himthe rose falls, crushing the city.
Who washed himself out in the streets with nasturtiumslike the leper’s watch falling off with her wrist
While traffic cops made roomthey stand toe to toe at the fountain
And fooled the infinitedangerous shoe.
The cavalier paradedunsavory cherries flambé
On the fool’s. Son of athat her watch is laced into her brow
Eating in the parking lot, in walksa prince discovers his house
Lease me a chair in my sinusesand cold, sand on the horizon
Where gazelles sneeze on on-lookersthe white sun was finished, and turned away
A dull history for the lay-personand siennas and the kids are alright making money.
