-----------------------------------
i'll begin by talking

about something that puzzles me
things like jewellery
and ice statues
fragile works of art
you cannot
touch them
gaze at them longingly
from a distance

today i'm just
wearing a baby doll
doing nothing
vegetating in my bed

in the afternoon
wearing my brand-new suit
i'll go window-shopping
to kill some time

at night
wearing a black gown
i'm invited to dinner
please call me madame

according to the tarot cards
the beautiful girl
lives in a sea of tears
and the fool won't stop
giving away money
just like a broken tap

in the morning
wearing my fur coat
i'll get back to the hotel
in the car you're so proud of

someday
wearing a white dress
i'll have my wedding ceremony
you too please come
