I was a quick, wet boy, 

            
Diving too deep for coins

             
All of your straight blind eyes, 

             
Wide on my plastic toys

              
And when the cops closed the fair

          
I cut my long baby hair

            
Stole me a dog-eared map

                   
And called for you everywhere





Have I found you?

                         
Flightless bird, brown hair bleeding


Or lost you?


American mouth

         
Big bill, still going down
