lyrics

Auroric placenta spins in the heavens, the Life Force spits out the Black Magellanic Cloud
and already born in this matter;
the Irv's Breast o/Chicken sandwich at Santa Monica & Sweetzer
Picwood Bowl scorekeeping pencils that say "LET'S GO BOWLING"
rheumatic fever germs will weaken Irving Thalberg's heart so he'll die in 1936
a Martin's Milk bottle I'll fall on wearing plastic roller skates Paul Soorenko gave me & four
stitches for my palm
microchips will store 124 bits of Information
a Braille typewriter I'll learn to use to take letters for Shirley Trexler
59B trackless trolley I'll jump out the window of in 1969 almost killing myself with a concussion
glow in the dark paint to put allover my room on Arnold St.
50's Oriental drapes I'll find in a Baltimore thriftshop w/Abbe
Hurricane Betsy to swipe the British West Indies
Bhimrao Ramji Ambedekar who will plead the case of the Untouchables
Titanium, Play-Doh, Astro Turf, Superballs, Dentyne, calomine, iodine, Dramamine,
Feenamints, Velcro, Nutra-Sweet,
a steam valve my great grandfather Epstein will invent and sell for a pittance to make the Nylon
industry
Lucite, asphalt, Aspergum, Show Biz, Honolulu, tungsten, shoo-fly pie, Beefeater martinis
I'll drink withe Mayor of Meridian, Mississippi
that million dollar Space Toilet NASA will build in 1980
the chicken , the egg, the egg, the chicken, chicken, egg, egg, chicken, egg
