Black and White Lady.
Flat on my back
as the world sits on my chest
wearing his mustache among hawaiian islands
and I'm not breathing
a heavy finger prods my cheek
"you are SAD" through gapping teeth
and I obey
and I am shameless
and I surrender
like a woman in colorless film
i am fatefully tied to train tracks
come one, come all
come run me over
for no one can tell
i can't get up myself
my knees have caved in
my blood is not flowing
my light is fading
and fate takes hold.
