lyrics

so serious
the clock ticks & chimes
like the opening of cash registers
the bell on the front door of the coffee shop
the up-smashing clunk of the gate to the subway

nothing like jazz
nothing like sunshine

rubber tires on asphalt
& v's & z's & r's &
hissing breaks reach me
through a single door
it's all so serious
friday morning

nothing like the park
nothing like the ocean

no, forget the park
the park is serious too
serious like four chairs
around a square table
but home many chairs
does a round table deserve?
--a seat for everyone, & anyone
with three friends;
round tables are for kings
especially poets

don't take away my rainclouds
don't make them serious too
don't change your face for dreary days
let me have my crying sky
in peace & joy

serious like a handgun in the clutches of mental illness
serious like dress socks & abortions!

where are the painted faces?
balloons attached to booze!
tap dancing shoes!

everyone is sitting, some silent
otherwise it's business & capital junkies
with their haircuts
& their laptops

nothing like the circus!
nothing like the moon!

dance!
sing & sing!
you don't need me!
no music, no beat,
just feet!
feet screeech!

all those things so "important"
they're learned necessities
all those things so serious!

for love,
for love i want hugs & kisses

nothing like aeroplanes
nothing like television
nothing like sun glasses

wet dancers, dance around me
dream for every kind of laughter

nothing too permanent
nothing too beautiful
nothing too serious

just love,
says the mother
just love
