white shirts and striped shirts
ties and glasses���no muscles
the IGY business scientists
production plant engineers
I have this great shall I say nostalgia
I slap them upside the head
their skin falls off or something
air raids���drills���kids screaming
pursued by Russians or
cops Saturday mornings
such a drag about
an hour and a half before lunch
I held her hand
I took her to the movies
my hand is in the you-know-where
but oh, nothing
it was all forgotten anyway
long hair short hair
cancer treatment and
hair in your lunch
and you die the next day
I�m gonna grow a beard
or tomatoes
an hour and a half in the you-know-where
such a drag these
IGY Russians held her beard
air raids fall off or
cops forgotten anyway
such a nostalgia about
cancer treatment about
an hour and a half before
kids screaming and you die
in your lunch white business
striped mornings drills
upside the head
oh nothing nostalgia
pursued by hair
forgotten anyway
skin falls off or something
such a drag
