2001, jan smith

brought on board with some shoes to fill
cold cocked but hard to kill
taken aside and told that I’m soft
but I like to fight so I shake it off
I keep sluggin’ but you don’t salute
if you weren’t so stupid I’d be twice as cute
wavin’ me in but I won’t take my bow
going on guts and they’re spillin’ out

If I could do it I would have done it by now
If I could do it I would have done it by now

wake up blinkin’ in a bright white light
the nurses all say I’ll be alright
but here where it’s so sanitized
I finally see that I’m no prize
cool and blue and red and white
hats and gloves and lips and eyes
they keep me here where I do no harm
a tight white jacket is my right arm

if I could do it I would have done it by now
if I could do it I would have done it by now

baby dolls and training wheels
popcorn peanuts and orange peels
bright colors and candy corn
padded walls and endless thorns

if I could do it I would have done it by now
if I could do it I would have done it by now

I accept
I accept

Jan Lamberton Smith Cuyama, California

"...You can talk about the glory days my darling, but these evening stars just take my breath away, and the sky is so immense I cannot hear you. In the moonlight I forget what I should say. There's nothing on the dashboard for protection; there's no candle in my window for regret, and the beauty in this moment overtakes me. I'm headed out it's bowling night again." ... more
