"Hey babe, what's in your eyes?
I saw them flashing like airplane lights.
...What's that laughing in your smile?
I saw them flashing like airplane lights.
...What's that laughing in your smile?
...If that's your love, just leave me blind..."

~Jagger-Richards, You Got The Silver
The Bastard
It wasn't enough
performing for the
shell-game professors
and small-time grocers
you called family.
O no.
It wasn't enough
to scrub your drawers,
peel your cow's-tongue,
wait graveyard tables
to feed the child.
O no,
you had to call me
you had to call me
'an authoress.'
A bastard could never
A bastard could never
belong in your world
unless it was you.
