Ballad in Plain Be Flat

Ballad in Plain Be Flat

the feet were stuck between the petticoat & tom dick & harry rode by & they all screamed. . .her lips was so small & she had trenchmouth & when i saw what i had done, i guard my face / time is handled by some crazy cheerleader snob & sticking her tongue out, dropping a purple tostle cap, she mingles with a bus, caresses a bloody crucifix & is praying for her purse to be stolen up gunpowder alley! her name, Delia, she envies the block of chain & kingdom where the khaki thermometer kid, obviously a front man & getting a commission growling "she'll drown you! split your eyes! put your mind where your mouth is! see it explode! just 65 & she dont mind dying!" is bending over for scraps of food, fighting an epileptic fit & trying to keep dry in a typical cincinnati weather. . . Claudette, the sandman's pupil, wounded in her fifth year in the business & she's only 15 & go ahead ask her what she thinks of married men & governors & shriner conventions go ahead ask her & Delia, who's called Debra when she walks around in her nurse uniform, she casts off pure light in the cellar & has principles / ask her for a paper favor & she gives you a geranium poem. . .chicago? the hogbutcher! meatpacker! whatever! who cares? it's also like cleveland! like Cincinnati! i gave my love a cherry, sure you did, did she tell you how it tasted? what? you also gave her a chicken? fool! no wonder you want to start a revolution

look, i dont care what your daddy says.
j. edgar hoover is just not that good a
guy, like he must have information on
every person inside the white house that
if the public knew about, could destroy
those people / if any of the knowledge that
he's got ever got out, are you kidding,
the whole country would probably quit their
jobs & revolt he aint never gonna lose
his job, he will resign with honor, you
just wait & see. . .cant you figure out all
this commie business for yourself? you
know, like bow long can car thieves terrify
the nation? gotta go, there's a fire engine
chasing me, see you when i get my degree.
i'm going crazy without you. cant see enough movies,

your crippled lover benjamin turtle
