Number 20 |
The pennycandystore beyond the E1 is where I first fell in love with unreality Jellybeans glowed in the semi-gloom of that September afternoon A cat upon the counter moved among the licorice sticks and tootsie rolls and Oh Boy Gum
Outside the leaves were falling as they died
A wind had blown away the sun
A girl ran in Her hair was rainy Her breasts were breathless in the little room
Outside the leaves were falling and they cried Too soon! too soon! |
