I was a q uick wet boy
Diving too d eep for coins
All of your straight blind eyes
Wide on my plastic toys
And when the cops closed the fair
I cut my l ong baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map
And called for you everywhere
Have I f ound you ?
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
Or lost you ?
American mouth
Big bill looming
Now I'm a f at house cat
Cursing my s ore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats
Curl through the w ide/white fence cracks
Kissing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean
Blood of Christ mountain stream
Have I found you ?
Flightless bird, brown hai r bleeding
Or lost you ?
American mouth
Big bill, still going down
