Boggs Melanie In The White Coat
Melanie in the white coat, wearing the black scar,
knockingon the heads of old ladies.
'Chatter on grannies--wheezing withered fannies--
counting
all your pennies!'
She slps from an octopus riding the Nachtbus leaving
him to
his limp tendrils. Lechers on the U-Bahn, she says.
'Get away from me mahn! I'm more Man than you'll ever
be.
Listen, Listen, listenlistenlisten when I talk to you!
Look out, look
out lookoutlookoutlookout your window!'
There goes Melanie in the white coat riding the black
bike,
wearing her scarf like a bandit. She rides through the
city, takes
lunch in a cemetary, watches the red cat leap
tombstones.
She's sick of being a teacher, suffere a seizure
staring at the
dead-eyed pupils!'
'Listen,listen, listenlistenlisten when I talk to you!
Look out, look
out, lookoutlookoutlookout your window!'
There goes Melanie in the white coat off to the movies
to see
her old friend 'Zazie' laughing on the tower while the
timid gents
cower aghast at her petulance.
'Listen,listen, listenlistenlisten when I talk to you!
Look out, look
out, lookoutlookoutlookout your window!'
Perched on her elbows--calloused fingers, crooked nose-
-
another late night in stale clothes. Out through the
dim street,
clip-clop of her feet, there goes Melanie in the white
coat.
There she goes.
