It Isn'T Home
Then I remember it's not home;
that place with white dresses, hats
and pretty lace parasols, and studied
looks from crooks and salesmen;
no, no; it's none of these, it's me,
my old life, and I watch the milk-girls
and gigolos on Baxter Street, giving
long, drawn looks into adjacent nebulae,
ads for screen tests, and other black holes;
and that's all well and dandy fine; but it
isn't home, no, no; it isn't that.
