I Could Do Worse
by Philip F De Pinto
on the street
than be mistaken for
Billy Bob Thorton
for instance I could
be mistook for God or his rival
and then think of the pressure
I would assume on my shoulders
plus all the prayers I would be
burdened to fulfill
not to mention all the harps and pitchforks
I would have to issue out to
every tom and harry and dick angel and imp
who fancied himself a strummer or goad
Yeah - I could do worse
than be mistaken for Billy Bob
and I could not imagine myself God or his rival
Whose feet or talons could never be allowed to touch ground
and ground to me is the hallowed floor upon which I pace each night
waiting for seven thirty sharp to call my baby
who knows she'd be square if she weren't there
and my baby could do worse
than have Billy Bob Thorton give her a call
for instance:
She could have God pick up the line
or his rival
and what would my baby have to say to These?
or Billy Bob who once upon a mistaken time had Angelina Jolie
in his mitts - the she with the purse seine lips - the doll
who could not compete in the least with my baby
