i'm just a wallflower
stuck up here for them to look at
all the dignity i have
is turning away
passers-by pass through the underpass
and stare
all the protection i have
is turning away
when i sink beneath the weight
of pigeon crap and car exhaust
urban negligence my negligee
all the will i have
is turning away
when roses fade and paint flakes leaving
concrete like bare bones
i will turn my skull-face toward you. until then
all the mercy i have
is turning away
