Nene de antes

Comb cardinals under the downpour
rare birds from a waterlogged past
again to the bryl cream.
Put the suction cups on the invisible man
that the whistle under the door
keeps on sounding.

Child from before
with a four in zipper
child from before
with a ten in hangover.

Balcony of unfinished serenades it was
sought fame, vacations, and tears
the mortal tourist.
Sweated like a whale in an elevator
to the counselor of this madness
her French wrinkled.

Child from before
with a four in zipper
child from before
with a ten in hangover.

I had nervous breakdowns
but I was modern
with filed earplugs
they gave him the red card.

Comb cardinals under the downpour
rare birds from a waterlogged past
again to the bryl cream.

Child from before
with a four in zipper
child from before
with a ten in hangover
child from before
with a four in zipper
child from before
with a ten in hangover.
