lets be a movie

[the mingo]

she said i was a new flat school in 1956
i said back you're part of africa the jungle where the pavement ends looking to be fed or fished -
ice fishing maybe
she said my Daddy's tractor is what i dream of
yeah i answered, another colonialist fantasy
she said just like roses ...
but of course they'll put the nuke plants on you, the army nowhere to be seen then -
she said by that time you won't have enough money to get your teeth fixed
you'll be like Pancho Villa's head among the coyotes -
yeah but I'll still be loving you looking into your eyes...
she said I knew you would be difficult wanting to ride your used bicycle
in the road at a young age how ever did your mama cope?
i said she did it all from her chair
and i float but don't fish
she said you always reaching for what nobody can have
i said only way to go
Know what? she goes
What?
Lets go build brushwood forts along the railroad
i'll keep your guns loaded
you pull the triggers
lets be a movie

Your poem made me want to put her here.
She has that look on her face that a girl would get on her face after reading this.
