We were busy painting pictures of False Hope
on the face of Reality.
Tattoos really.
But they faded with time.
And I now know this:
Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be.
I saw an older writer in a slouched-down Fedora,

Wasn’t that you
Giving me the finger
Or was it just
A dead ringer
For the finger of love?
Finger of love

Then my flesh, then my holes
You filled them all

Oh, yeah, that's me, the girl in the blue dress, the girl with short blond hair. Slight smile occasionally passing over her face, sitting at the café table, waiting patiently for the semi-famous rock star to show and buy a house. Brown and sea-green

Desperately, little boys spooged ounces about in every direction.
