Funeral Hymns & Love Songs
for Z. P.A.

you're on this island and not in my arms
what nonsense is that

this meeting that meeting, this thing that thing to do
before we get to do or not to do

kissing on Bay Street as if we were from elsewhere

well you are, I'm not
though we both belonged to the Rocks once

what is this, romance
what is the size of your underpants
should we hang it up or drop it on the floor

my bed's on the floor
on our backs on the floor

you to roll around God' heaven in
around God's heaven on

better than the bus by far for sure
