Michael and John Get Their Flashback On

Two kids play in the same Puddle

Puddle has gasoline Rainbow sheen

We have welfare rags and Unselfconsciousness

We have God as Dad

We have crossing guard as Shelter

We have two different Mothers

Who ate penny candy Between hunger sandwiches While they carried us in Their bellies

Mary and Liz

And we just entered this Ragged scene

With the second-hand Smoke and the gasoline (Leaded like

Lucifer who

Fathered us both)

With a hunger for words As song
