Perfume V

Pavement

Fun for an hour when the he's gone-

Can one trick nights feed 40 days?

In my bed at the break of dawn she

Shivered like a vein slashed bright and new-

She's got the radio active, it makes

me feel ok (I don't feel ok)

Grip- force the vials, strip the locks, smash

The set and slash the beds, and when it

Looks like a wife's ex-plot, we'll cover

All the rugs with cheap perfume

Like a docent's lisp

Like a damsel's spit

Like a dry gin's twist (of lime)

Like a poor droll sir

Like a poke's dull spurs

Like a pastor's flock (no church)
