Purple Girl

Their eyes follow me
always watching the girl with
the blue umbrella.

There is a red-headed girl
carrying a blue umbrella.
Red-heads are making me lonely.

Scubagear is what the hell is that
to a perilous heart, oh, save my soul.

What makes
a bad person wake up
and start over like a pinball game.

I am a wizard when
I turn the rain to wine,
then drink the drops
near the bottom.

Tipping back the
second hand of the clock
fighting against the
oppression of gravity.

-Albert Sementa
