girls with buzz cuts singing along to beach house the air thick with eccentricity and anarchy their painted nails beginning to chip slowly like the minds of the older folks that are too engrossed with their holy books smart mouths and their pretentious words they make you want to kneel and pray but you know other things that you would rather be doing with your hands like reaching for your dreams or punching some guy's face for telling you to smile, pretty lady and boys with long locks crying to armageddon the blue sea spilling out from their red eyes their shirts splattered with distress and confusion mostly from people who are built like big boulders and war tanks too upset to see one of them crying but you know other things that you would rather be doing with your anatomy like building homes with pretty gardens or sewing a dainty dress for your niece
