la plaisir d'amour when something was possible: words
a card game o la
o la jouissance of course like a moviehouse when
the light's get flicked off something's possible then
the light's got flicked off of course I got punished
We'll see about that they said they sounded
like ice skates
as if the Ice Queen's
laugh shattering sex like icicles falling cold-cocked
horse to Banbury Cross clop-clop solved everything
Isolde the train lurched on its crutch o la
o la Tristesse it's just the battery's dead
click-click like a pen o la
o la plume de ma tante elle est morte
Then I call you up it's after the big blizzard's
music-box like skates
wheezed jingle bells like someone dropping his drawers
Am I stupid as a petunia is that a petunia
growing out of my penis, of course I got punished
Of course the toy telephone's
wheezing but what it meant to say was
something gentle oral sex for instance something like
alouette gentil alouette
alouette j'ai te plumerai o la
o la plaisir d'amour I can't remember
that strange cave the train skated through when you said
it doesn't matter & you laced your black shoes up but
o les ambages
For al be that I knowe nat Love in dede,
Ne wot how that he quiteth folk here hyre
Yit happeth me ful ofte in bokes rede
Of his myracles and his crewel yre
moreover
I can't remember the words to operas for instance o la
la Tristesse where nothing's possible, babbling
books
My knees bumped against the tricycle's
handlebars & then it was over o la
la Tristesse like a radio played for crying out loud on the
train & then you're gone beyond letters ergo
the store's closed
Won't somebody tell me pretty please
how this sword of all things got into our bed
When the house of cards falls the whole shebang falls
down the down escalator o la
la Tristesse Isolde your station's the next station
by definition I remember
Then the hobby horse comes clopping without shoes
Then a clock wound down the music stops
