Juliet, Get Some Brass
"With this knife
I shall stab..."
Yeah, right
knife, my ass
Juliet, get some brass
stop being such a pansy
Oops!
I forgot
this sorry excuse
this sappy "masterpiece"
this hormonally driven romance
was written by a man
Yet, turn the page and find
the depth of sorrow and outrage
finely portrayed
in "Titus Andronicus"
Now THAT was a man!
I shall stab..."

Alien
I must have been an alien
dropped by some tree
on this small planet
they abandoned me...
But, no matter how I wish
that I had another mater et pater
I must say, I resemble they.

Too Old To Be Ingenue
I will cut
straight through
to the truth of me in you
too old to be ingenue
too blunt to lie to me or you
Run, little rabbit
unless you WANT to know
exactly what I think and feel
about the me in you
straight through
to the truth of me in you
too old to be ingenue
too blunt to lie to me or you
Run, little rabbit
unless you WANT to know
exactly what I think and feel
about the me in you

Pygmalion Anew
Let me get my scissors, tape and glue
hold still
I am going to stick my truth on you
Paper mache a new you
like Pygmalion anew
There!
All better now
Don't you see?
You're now me!
hold still
I am going to stick my truth on you
Paper mache a new you
like Pygmalion anew
There!
All better now
Don't you see?
You're now me!

You Left
You left
you were there and then you left
you didn't mean to leave
you didn't want to leave
yet, you left
I felt adrift
without you, amiss
wandering day in and out
a big hollow spout
nothing to come out
and yet

Ever Present
This flesh
ever present
hangs on me
like silk from a spider's ass
hanging from a tree
yet, the breeze does not disturb me
quite unlike your lust of me
ever present
hangs on me
like silk from a spider's ass
hanging from a tree
yet, the breeze does not disturb me
quite unlike your lust of me

Random Snack
I will pick you up if I can
Random, as I am
I enjoy an intelligent, funny man
Offer a snack
don't talk smack
if you want another invite
to my mind

Hypocrisy
Think your truth to me
push your waves out to be
let's see where this goes
for I am tired of the ever present hypocrisy

let's see where this goes

Do To Me
Kiss me
kill me
Please me

What do you DO to me?
Nothing
It's what I do to ME
kill me
Please me
erase me
What do you DO to me?
Nothing
It's what I do to ME

Touch
I touch you
you touch me
such an opposite perception of reality
How is it that we can feel the same
yet, sometimes so differently?
Especially when I now know
that what I perceive is all Me
you touch me
such an opposite perception of reality
How is it that we can feel the same
yet, sometimes so differently?
Especially when I now know
that what I perceive is all Me

No One Can
I am so sorry, sister
for your man
he thinks he makes you
yet, no one can
you know this
well as I
yet you keep on staying
by his side
just don't forget
it's a lie
for your man
he thinks he makes you
yet, no one can
you know this
well as I
yet you keep on staying
by his side
just don't forget
it's a lie

Game
Simplicity is my name
Reality is my game
Don't try to play me
I was raised bent to a masters knee
you can never be mean enough for me
Reality is my game
Don't try to play me
I was raised bent to a masters knee
you can never be mean enough for me
