Test Tube Charlie


(Momma!)

The tears of forgotten cries
I sew my white hair
Toss my wet drops in the air
Only if I had my momma

Her reflection never protected me
Her breast never dropped milk for me
Only a tube stuffed in down my throat
Adding no color to my eyes

(Momma!)

Never felt her nipple in my mouth
Her arms were never around me
She left me without a name
I was born of haste 'coz there was no sperm

My bearer never bore me
And I swear to this darkness
I curse her with my disease
Burn and then plunge her into the ocean

(Momma!)

A snake dwells in her belly
I have a birthmark near my eyes
I scrape it out with my kissing knife
As I walk away, kissing her hands

(Momma!)
