(wasn't quite done)

my dear mango, you are so juicy

so very squeezy

theres no excuse

for you to not be in my hands right now

my sweet mango, whether alphonso

or banganapalli

you are so lovely

so divine

oh sweet mango,

please

please

be mine.

ode to mango

oh sweet mango

where are you

when is the season to see you

to cut you up

into small sunshiney bits

and eat you

oh sweet sweet

mango

dip dip dip

You would like me to make you a paper boat

One that never sinks

One that can withstand the sea, the storm

One that never sinks

I am not here to build that boat

I am not capable, and wont

For all our ships do sink

I will not let you drown

I am here to help you swim

show time

Come watch me I’m your puppet master

and I have a booth on the side for mind games

Come tip in your coin and take a seat

I will not make you wait

Watch me as I take my wooden dolls

In wooden lives and frames

Watch me smile as I pretend they cry

and all the words I fake

They flow out easier

than truth has ever done

Watch me make these puppets dance sir

the gift is god given

The puppets I treat like you would too

But only to me are they

Puppets in the sense of the term

the toys with which you play

They believe they are real boys

and real girls and say

This fucking puppet master he

fucks with our lives all day

All day all night his wish his whim

We dance make merry

He weaves our story

Our time will come

Our time will come

We will make him pay

I was born vindictive, selfish and strong

To control my love, control your life

Not one exception, the world my stage

and all its people in my puppet play

Come watch me I’m your puppet master

sweet.nothings.

If you’re going to treat me this cheap

At least pay me, throw some cash in my face

I might be cheap, but I don’t come cheap

No sir.

No kind, no kindness, just cash

Give me money, and then tear me apart

Be my lover then, I’ll play cheap

Plot my freedom, while you sleep
