cantelope

hot day china town
stinky fish stinky ground
bumpy fruits floating frown
strawberry lips pointing down

the goal while you're here
is to conquer this loneliness with
the goal while you're here
is to battle this loneliness with
the goal while you're here
is to defy this loneliness with
the goal while you're here
is to take down this loneliness with
SOLITUDE

cantelope i can't elope
cantelope i can't elope with you

i've got a big job
interviews with the pope
puffy robes expensiv soaps
underpaid workers licking my
envelopes

i'm here on my own
only you understand
smiling up from your fruit stand
i've give you my soul
my highest hand
but i've got worldy things
hope you understand

underpaid workers licking my. . .
