Raincoat
Princess umbrellas and red rubber shoes
I make no mistakes with these chocolate-milk etudes
I'm harder than ivory I pound every note
Everything I feel - bounces off of this raincoat
It's 7 am in this canopy bed
Their hair is the color of sorbet and cornbread
His calloused words bulge like snakes in his throat
Everything you say - bounces off of this raincoat
The puddles are oily with slick rainbow hues
I'm up to my ankles in second grade blues
The school bus is floating but I've missed the boat
Everything I dream - bounces off of this raincoat
It's raining, it's pouring
I'm drowning in oceans of longing
It's raining, I'm freezing
I'm melting, I'm barely breathing
I'm changing directions I'm changing my tune
The dissonant chords and the echo of this room
You slip from my legs, you drip down my throat
Everything I want - bounces off of this raincoat
