FINDING MY NERVE

I'd like to speak now

I've been feeling dizzy
Honeysuckle tigerlily lately

And I've been incorporating
A stick on the river
Comforter of vines graffiti
Of myself in the villa

Hair like birthday ribbon
Cobblestone hill cover over
Legislative telephone
I've been fighting through

The names of things I can't
Do blue ivy on the clipboard
It's been like buying land

I'm sure you're sure
The rhythm of it is a
Special garment but I'm not
A virgin priest in Tarrytown

I'm a patient independent
I carry two guns
