Lori Anne
at the edge of god help us
for awhile, prematurely tall,
flat as the world was, a hamster
your living doll turning a wheel
a farm where the future lives,
cows, butthead goat, chickens
are insane, a horse of course
to ride over dandelions
your daddy's a decent guy,
he can fix anything,
my heart is stale white bread,
the earth is real estate
(1982)
"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." Thomas Jefferson
for awhile, prematurely tall,
flat as the world was, a hamster
your living doll turning a wheel
a farm where the future lives,
cows, butthead goat, chickens
are insane, a horse of course
to ride over dandelions
your daddy's a decent guy,
he can fix anything,
my heart is stale white bread,
the earth is real estate
(1982)
