• The Model

I will confess to you,
Because you made me think about the times
You turned the picture on to me and I'd turn over.
The picture was a masterpiece of comic timing —
You wouldn't laugh at all.
And I wondered what the boy was thinking.
The picture was an old collage of something classical,
The model with a tragic air.
Because without a doubt he'd given up the fight,
The ghost of somebody at his side.

I will confess to you,
Because I didn't think about the message
As I walked down the alleyway. It was a Sunday.
All my friends deserted me because you painted me
As the fraud I really was.
And if you think you see with just your eyes you're mad.
Lisa learned a lot from putting on a blindfold.
When she knew she had been bad,
She met another blind kid at a fancy dress.
It was the best sex that she ever had.

I'll send a dress to you,
Because it's needing badly taking in.
I was so embarrassed that I missed your party.
It was me that paid for it eventually,
'Cause you know how much I wanted
To meet your friend, the star of stage and local press.
The dream of all the bowlie kids that hang around here,
And I'm no different from the rest.
I'm not too proud to say that I'm okay
With the girl next door who's famous for showing her chest.

You're not impressed by me.
But it's a funny way for you to tell me,
A whisper in a choir stall.
The man was talking about you simultaneously.
Frankly, I let my heavy eyelids flutter
Because I have been sleeping badly lately.
I know you were historical from all the books I've read,
But I thought you could be bluffing.
And with this chance I've missed I feel remiss.
It's days and months before I'll see you again.
