The sheriff came because she would not leave
gingham curtains and their green
watered lawns when love was lost
to Gabe, to wit, in lawful action.
Lily learned from Mama once
how to sew in curtain hems
shrimp she boiled the night before
and hoped the sheriff would return
to smell the house a week from then
she said to all the boilermaker
boys in downtown Galveston
atShoeshine Charley's Bar & Grill.
Now before the tousled sheets,
before the mirror two a.m.
time to get some beauty sleep....
Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa,
lady with the mystic smile;
KUHF on your dial
DJ with the sexy voice
sings along with Nat King Cole
while Lilly who was boiler made
by a midnight shoeshine boy
walks in her sleep at three a.m.
On the john she's still asleep
and dreams she lives in Italy
that looks a lot like Galveston
where Lily, drowning in the Gulf,
or maybe Adriatic Sea,
is thrown a life buoy from a truck
and as she grabs ahold of it,
it turns into a toilet seat
that's always fucking up.
