Memory¡¯s stain appeared to you in the bath
|
Memory¡¯s stain, body laundered, Soul it hath
|
I have a confession
|
in the form of a question:
|
How could you entertain
|
trading know-how for a stain?
|
Look now, I¡¯m no better
|
Look now, our thrift sweater
|
pulled over you
|
Look now, how wide are the holes!
|
Look now, the power it holds
|
over you
|
Well, I¡¯ll be damned!
|
A calf is easy to brand
|
|
Memory¡¯s stain; you¡¯re not content with my answer
|
Memory¡¯s stain; on the cusp of Gemini and Cancer
|
You¡¯re not bored, just sleep deprived
|
drunk on jealousy and pride
|
Boozing is the highest aim
|
when spittle won¡¯t get out Memory¡¯s stain
|
Look now, I¡¯m no better
|
Look now, our thrift sweater
|
pulled over you
|
Look now, how wide are the holes!
|
Look now, the power it holds
|
over you
|
Well, I¡¯ll be damned!
|
A calf is easy to brand
|
