Slimp - Slink limp
Slimp away from battle, boy
Use 2 long, 1 strong leg to carry you home
Slimp away from battle, girl
Duck behind bushes and around pedestals while no one's looking

Depression is a funny thing
It's full of jams and jellies
And it's not like feeling empty
Boulders filling up the bellies
Depression and I walk sometimes
Along a well-worn footpath
We soak our feet in misery -

My words will no longer drip like honey

And smell like lilles-of-the-valley
And hollow themselves like carving up an orange
Soft, deliberate slices -

Yell fire
Yell fire Girl because if

They catch you no one
No one

Yell fire Girl because fire matters
Fire makes people stand up and move
Yell fire Girl because they'll have to look in your direction -
Girl, Boy
Girl
Girl who wears pounds of makeup because she likes the way she looks like a mermaid
Boy who thinks she wears it for him
Girl who wears skirts because she likes they way her toned thighs look in them -

I'm prompt and punctual and smile when the big hand strikes the 9
