Queeny Coronary
nicotine licked his lips
he gave her a smile
and says hey it's been awhile
she shaves her way
through drop and decay
and breathes jack frost on the window
"a table for two
a fork and a spoon
we could be great together"
the playing cards swim
beneath china rims
and touch a bottom of coffee grounds
the ace of spades knew
the diamonds were blue
they'd be digging their own graves
"a table for two
the black and marooned
we could be great together"
la lunatic cries
and to her surprise
the suit of hearts was tragic
and all of it soars
between cheats and whores
and the house of cards collapses.
