The Lettuce

the course of the hand-plow,

the magnet, the anchor,

the shovel - disheveled

so you wonder how

about the getting down

how long will it take to be

you won't recognize for me

the skilled confuser

bored you'll breathe

you might not see the hole between the wake and wonder

the length you've gone to turn it over

still you wonder how about the getting down

the pool reopened just in time for a swim

cannonballs exploding if it's making waves i'm in

then the blue of your chlorine-stained eyes

as you rise from the water your bathing suit snaps for

surprise

and i'll dive in the deep end

and i'll dive to impress you

and when i dive you won't hear anyone at all

just in time the phone rings in

not alarmed

don't come in to get me, don't come in to get me

i'm all right, i'm all right

just in time the phone rings in not alarmed

don't come in to get me, don't come in to get me

i'm all right, i'm all right
