FANCY POULTRY CHORDS:
In the ironbound section near Avenue L
Where the Portuguese women come to see what you sell
The clouds so low the morning so slow
As the wires cut through the sky
The beams and bridges cut the light on the ground
Into little triangles and the rails run round
Through the rust and the heat the light and sweet
Coffee color of her skin
Bound up in wire and fate
Watching her walk him up to the gate
In front of the ironbound school yard
Kids will grow like weeds on a fence
She says they look for the light they try to make sense
They come up through the cracks, like grass on the tracks
She touches him goodbye
Steps off the curb and into the street
The blood and feathers near her feet
Into the ironbound market
In the ironbound section near Avenue L
Where the Portuguese women come to see what you sell
The clouds so low the morning so slow
As the wires cut through the sky
She stops at the stall, fingers the ring
Opens her purse, feels a longing
Away from the ironbound border
FINALE (play 2x):
Fancy poulty parts sold here
Breasts and thighs and hearts
Backs are cheap and wings are nearly
AND CONTINUE (play 4x):
free, nearly
free, nearly
REPEAT AND FADE TO END:
