I’m not here really<\/p>\n

The bath wiped some time off my skin<\/p>\n

but it’s only hour 9<\/p>\n

and I’m braindead<\/p>\n

there’s this unfocused layer underneath the mask of my face<\/p>\n

that’s named Bleary or whatever<\/p>\n

He’s not real sure what about this English language he’s not sure about<\/p>\n

but prone to wiping his hand acrost hisself to express his innermost<\/p>\n

feelings and that will have to suffice<\/p>\n

So if a poem could be about a guy wiping his hand acrost his face<\/p>\n

then Bleary could come through for you bigtime<\/p>\n

Madeline loves him<\/p>\n

don’t ask me why<\/p>\n

but she tolerates him being quiet like that<\/p>\n

She talks and he listens or so she thinks so<\/p>\n

And when she swings her hips and he gets that<\/p>\n

big dumb grin on his face, dipping all embarrassed like<\/p>\n

well she just about loves that the best there’s just no explainin it<\/p>\n

She just gets the biggest chuckle out of him<\/p>\n

so in conclusion<\/p>\n

That’s just mammal magnetism is all I can say<\/p>\n
