When I’m feeling tired
She pushed food through the door
And I crawl towards the crack of light
Sometimes I can’t find my way

Newspapers spread around
Soaking all that they can
A cleaning is due again
– a good hosing down

The lady whom I feel maternal love for
Cannot look me in the eyes
But I see hers and they are blue
And they cock and twitch and masturbate!

I said so
Nirvana

Black windows of paint
I scratched with my nails
I see others just like me
Why do they not try to escape?

They bring out the older ones
They point in my way
They come with a flash of light
And take my family away

And very later I have learned
To accept some friends of ridicule
My whole existence is for your amusement
And that is why I’m here with you!

To take
Me with
You’re right

Nirvana
