Cyndi Lauper Lyrics by J. Mamana

Nothing New in the West

2018

One night while cursing Japheth
I noticed that I loved
My lover more than she did me
Then I fell out of bed
We slept on Egyptian sheets
That burned and chafed the skin
I couldn't wrench them from our bed
’til we were sleeping again
And when I knew that she would bail
I sang along with the nightingale
I woke instead with a book
Containing every word
Excluded from the dictionary
Hilarity ensued
It read in six languages
And quoted me at length—
It talked in polysemous bleats
E.g. angst was a shriek
And when I wrote bad to its author
He mailed me a buck with a note that read:
“Well, Cyndi Lauper was wrong—
Or at least misguided
You'd rather write in my arms for the night.”
And today I ask as any other:
Who do you dignify?
No more than I said yesterday
