for Theo my T.V. Cowboy
Baby, I am in love with you
as you spit saliva on the pavement
smoke your lucky strike
watch beautiful blonde girls talk about irrelevant things
in hopes that you'll think they are deep
and now you are on T.V.
crying in your heart
shaking in your bones
smiling in front of the camera
totally unaware that this Eastcoast girl
is making love to herself pretending it's you
watching your eyes as if they are on her
but they are not
kissing her
but you are not
knowing her lips and the shades of emotion on her face
but you are not
you have become quite the Hollywood boy
face lerking from the satillite dish
when all she wants is to love you
hold your soft edges like a book
hold you gently
and never let you break
