Envy of a Real Sharp Pencil Lyrics by JJeanne

Carminae

0

You’ve rolled yourself into a big fat cigar
every day since fifteen and made your hair
smoke-sticky and glib-long and your teeth
as fuzzy yellow as you can get ‘em.
You drive your eyes, filled with leeches,
down into inky book depths, like oil drills,
and suck up black on black on black
while I can’t seem to keep even a drop.
You pal around with heavy hitters
in three-piece suits and four-part names,
but sink calmly into flannel with a fart
just to show how play-it-cool you really are.
You know how to take a picture from the side
as if to say you’ve more important things to
consider than a camera, but probably it’s cause,
straight-on, you’ve got a squat face with squint eyes.
You think your love’s the biggest whale around
because you felt just like a shed corn husk
when your brown-eyed girl went off to India,
but then you prosed your angst for pats on the back.
You are, in short, the sharpest pencil I know
and so this is the end of the line for your brain,
which I am swallowing wide and whole, as a
famished snake does the naked and vital egg.
