Nothing Painted Blue
Collage Elements
They confiscated my library card When they caught me in the stacks with a knifeCutting pictures of Curtis LeMayFrom a 1950 volume of 'Life'Don't care if some scholar's annoyedDon't care if his archive's destroyedAll of yesterday's current events, you see to meThey're just collage elementsAnd I've been banned from the grocery storeI was brandishing my blade down the shelvesSlicing labels from innocent cans,Now they can't even advertise themselves to themselvesDon't care if this package containsNine wholesome American grainsBrand names off of famed condiments, you see to meThey're just collage elementsSo fetch me the good scissorsAnd bring me a bottle of glueAnd bring me a postcard landscapeTo insert these elements intoSheet music and circuitry boards,Letras de cancionesChair caning and parachute cords,Bus tickets and medical charts,Knives and leaves and sevens of hearts,Gleaned portraits of dead presidents, you see to meThey're just collage elements
