lyrics

In defence of her cigarettes,
Madeline suggested
all the smoke she blew
paid tribute to the stars.

“Well, is the same for tailpipes?
Or radio towers at wartime?
Or anything we manage to spew
up over our shoulders?”

She had to think about it.

She knocked me off my see-saw
She said, “Everything’s an effort at dialogue
and the stars are burning to hear from us.
They smolder in the great coolness.”

I pissed into the Piscatequa.
The stars weren’t sympathetic ears.
They were pretty though,
some freckles pinned
to cosmic skin.

Once I wanted to kiss her.
She said she’d left her boyfriend
after 2 weeks in the hospital
without one call from Ben.

But I coughed and turned around.
No one needs my tongue in them.
She laughed smoke. She dribbled embers.
I dug my face into her shoulder.

(or as our recording guy Elio likes to sing, INTO HER BIZZZZ-NESS)
