By Erika Davies
extra ordinary
this is no farce
underneath
hindsight through swaying drapery
oh, i've had a taste of this doubtful discourse
i take it
break and transform its tedious elated lies
sew
it might just pour out from my accidental snips
and
occasional rude outbursts
though
i am quite as you see
i am
quite what you say
sprinkling my toast round town, quietly
honing in on my lost soul bits
they escape me each night on their mission
though, each day they return to me
more learn-ed
somehow, skillfully replaced
i am amazed
give my utmost to please the others
and
remarkably, you've all created who i am
thats what is inside of me
