it’s all just a matter of re-******* and re-******* and re-******* my head back in place everytime they walk by no distractions no distractions follow the straight and narrow-- yes, we follow the straight and narrow, the girls wrapped with the tight elastics and see through tops the powdered faces and porcelain bodies that seem to go on and on and on but it’s all just a matter of looking ahead keeping your head on straight no distractions no distractions even as the mascara flickers on their eyelashes like black fireworks on a white sky even as they float by stealing time with their hourglass figures and ancient eyes but no not this time nodistratctions nodistractions nodistractions it happens everytime they talk or sigh and especially when they say goodbye but to hell with all these silly teenage girls and their platinum-blonde/midnight-black/chestnut-brown/blood-red personalities-- stuck in the wrong realities constantly throwing themselves against the walls walls walls cutting their fingertips on the sharp edged boys they clutch at until they bleed bleed bleed wondering why no one ever hears their desperate tears tears tears looking to boys like me to catch them when they fall fall fall but it’s just a matter of turning away-- re-******* and re-******* and re-******* my head back in place
