a chinese girl who must be nine walks
by Indigo Tempestaa chinese girl who must be nine walks
into this café where i am sitting.
where i am being coughed
on by a fashionable hangover.
a chinese girl smiling tooths a bagel;
she has good canines.
she looks like snow,
or crying. she is an ice pink cake,
and i would like to crumble her lacework
like husked flies in the window sill. 02/13/2005 Posted on 02/13/2005

| Posted by Agnes Eva on 05/14/05 at 02:51 AM yeah, what james said. funnily, i was reminded of his style, esp with the line he quotes! but anyway, i like your view; a female (you) vs. alternate reality female (girl) |
