lyrics

She Is Not

The statue of liberty is a woman
Have you noticed the rust rust rust
of repetition?

She is not that.
Have you marveled on the beauty
of materialism?

No, she is not that.

She is not the
tortured broken torchlight of razors
on women's hairless legs
or the tricycle not given
the bicycle not taken
to see the beach
or the frisbee that can never be free

She is not. Not. Not. Not. Not.
The unforgiveness of frustration
or the dark passion of
an interned japanese man
on a world war two camp

The picnic basket
bottomless
filled with pleasure
she is

She's the bookseller
who sent books home every day

Karma for a quart
She's the noisy pedalboat
who leads a child to infinity

She is the garden
the japanese man planted in the fifties
when he finally felt the future
touched his greenhouse

Yes, like the statue of liberty
she'll take you to a place you've never been
a place you've never been
inside your own house

A pixel.
Stuck on each page
A pixel.
Stuck on each race

The medal won by
speaking the language of loyalty.
