Told my little Pollyanna
There's a place for you and
me
We'll go down to Transverse City
Life is cheap and Death is
free
Past the condensation silos
Past the all-night trauma stand
We'll
be there before tomorrow
Pollyanna take my hand
Show us endless neon
vistas
Castles made of laser lights
Take us to the shopping sector
In
the vortex of the night
Past the shiny mylar towers
Past the ravaged
tenements
To a place we can't remember
For a time we won't
forget
Here's the hum of desperation
Heres the test tube mating
call
Here's the latest carbon cycle
Here's the clergy of the
mall
Here's the song of shear and torsion
Here's the bloodbath
magazine
Here's the harvest of contusions
Here's the narcoleptic
dream
Told my little Pollyanna
Here's a place where we can stay
We
have come to see tomorrow
We have given up today
Down among the dancing
quanta
Everything exists at once
Up above in Transverse City
Every
weekend lasts for months
Here's the hum of desperation
Heres the test
tube mating call
Here's the latest carbon cycle
Here's the clergy of the
mall
Here's the witness and the victim
Here's the relatives'
remains
Here's the well-known double helix
Here's the poisoned waves of
grain
Here's the song of shear and torsion
Here's the bloodbath
magazine
Here's the harvest of contusions
Here's the narcoleptic
dream
Here's the hum of desperation
