if work permits

so the wind that blows across your room

carried cheap perfume onto your dresser

it rained for jewelry and for credit cards

two tickets to a film i don't remember

one day you'll kiss your rabbits nose

pick up the phone

to find i've been turned over

and you'll grab that piece of gold

only to find that the smell has taken over

now all the things you had

they aren't the same. as what you hold

i'm standing in a room

it's filled with older folks pleading baby listen"
