I am the harelip
Give me one more kiss
We'll have a mardi gras
on deserted street
Fingers and forceps
Raw meat and muzak
The bubbles in the wine
keep the nerves dead
I was awake all
through the surgery
The people
dancing laughing all
for me
You sewed me up
but it will
never heal
Will I forget then
learn to smile
some day
Potbellied sick bed
All scars and
sweet breads
A lonely vacation
on your own
Disney parade
It's all that he has
Clamped up by Walkmans
A midnight waiting room
Hear the distant screams
I was awake all
through the surgery
The people
dancing laughing all
for me
You sewed me up
but it will
never heal
Will I forget then
learn to smile
some day
