$.50 shampoo




$.50 Shampoo 

touch me, tease me, love me, leave me, 
half a buck worth of common sense
Julie Christie getting her hair did
flipping and flopping like a new kid
lather bound like a novel
sleekly designed, like a new age brothel
eighteen years without a bra
all you have 
is what you are 
silly rhymes 
in worn out time 
and everyone gets sleepy 
a moustache is the kind of thing 
which lures you in discreetly 
Lee Grant in anything 
leaving me to pieces
count another weekend out 
forget about the thesis 
natural light 
all I can afford
a t-shirt skirt 
posteriours preferred
what do you do with stars and stripes
one or the other
he's the type
