"Twenty-eight in drag" (Capitol) Aerolitos (67)

15/11/24

Here, I can be your souvenir
I smile loudly just so you can hear
Watch my face when my pants split while I’m dancing
Not unlike the greatest day of my life
I find another face to plagiarize
In the limelight I am always laughing lately
I run into an excess of material
And I’m topping myself up with the new ethereal dope
And I run, I’ll be the queen man of something good
But I’m tearing my own face off before some other motherfucker could

Then I’m distancing
A slow distancing

Men with a capital M
I’ve never known how to talk to them
Can I be my father and my mother at once?
It’s a curse like playing records in reverse
Every conversation I’ve somehow rehearsed
Another rumination I’ve spent too long musing over
I run into an excess of material
And I’m topping myself up with the new ethereal dope
And I run, I’ll be the queen man of something good
But I’m tearing my own face off before some other motherfucker could

Then I’m distancing
A slow distancing
I’m distancing until I’m glistening

I’m always running inside to hide from the candlelight, the Fahrenheit
Life is burning youth extinguished and memorialized so I run.
