Bovine Excision

Diet Dr. Pepper, Raymond Carver Sitting in the bathtub while they're knocking I wanna be untouchable I wanna be untouchable You took the door off its hinges Doll eyes red in the litmus I felt the pea, can I eat it? I felt the pea, can I eat it? Picking leeches off white underwear Neck, back, inscrutable stare I wanna be impossible I wanna be impossible Fred flirts with the bartender "We met last year here, remember?" She says, "I'm old, but I'm not dead" She says, "I'm old, but I'm not dead" Rice wine, lime-flavored Lays Passing go to sit in driveways Clad in leopard, clutch the banister Twirling like a Degas dancer I just wanted to be your friend Cup of tea in your cold hand And drained, drained bloodless And drained, drained bloodless And drained, drained bloodless And drained, drained bloodless
