Dick Nixon's Dream of a Naked Dental Student He said, 'A fall is ugly And I need this tomatuh Like a gloveless dentist In a dead man's mouth There's no use struggling Internal fist fights Cuz cards scatter in the oily wind And the old stone border's crumbling Now that I've seen you naked.' 'I made a point Of stroking my hair There's a leaf I wear Inside my tent. Cockroaches scatter Above the matter And as a cat follows A floating milkweed seed Out onto the highway You make a naked charge Up my pant leg.' The end Greek Chorus: 'Beach combing, beach combing Look out for the void Look out for the void Find the necklace, Find the necklace, The color of that leather's pathetic' So up the steps Past the doorman Past the cello No fucking hat She's in the bathroom Running some water Taking her shirt off It says, 'WELCOME JOHN PAUL ii' But she doesn't remember me Standing beside her in the can Like a New Yorker.
