Baby Blue passes another penny to my plate
A snarling kind
Savage toddler cloaked in a carriage
One grand rock and I could hush him to sleep
I know
Baby Blue passes a dime
Hey, thanks
Eleven cents is all that’s been afforded me
A shock of ringlets that lays pacified and still
Unknowing of his decrepit evil sin
In a carriage, does he know better?
So I should lead him to walk
Among the mud-stained icy snow
Billboards of passionate desperation
Buy me, oh please, love me
Baby Blue can’t help it
He’s fascinated
entranced
I let him wiggle
Step on twos out of the carriage
And watch his toes curl to feel
Hysteria
A consumerist, chronicling kin
Of winter bitterness
Give me the world in a can of baby food
I’m trying, I’m trying Blue
But they don’t want me in
Pass more pennies
Muster more dimes
Let us eat tonight
And you shan’t act so sullen
This time
We’ll feel warm
No wet on our snow-pants
No dragon-breath gas station sits
I want a tiled floor
So cold
So penetrable and icy
I know
But one of smooth-licking
Sitting
How such is all I do with you
Baby Blue
Let on to one last breath
Feel the radiation of LED stints
And you’ll catch on to your breath
Do not coo
Do not waiver in little gasps
Baby Blue
I breathe hot air to a dime-piece
As my only gift to you
And place it to your forehead
As you only grow more blue
The expanse of an empty winter city
Should not seem to care
I think
For a little Baby Blue
To die
But you’re mine
And the only chance I had to get
Oh get some sympathies with an itchy fleece blanket
To rest
Not so blue would you be then
But staring down to the cardboard sign that says
Help
I know Baby Blue
is at an end
And eleven cents all my wealth.
