1.Envy
The dress she wore was the color of envy. When she smiled all
the men would lose their cool. She turned to me and said, You
are a fool, boy. I said, It's true but don't you know I am
your fool now.
The full moon was shining on the Cooper Union. It covered all
the temples in a blanket of gray. She said, Way over yonder is
my home. Way over yonder is my home. And the dress she wore was
the color of envy. When she smiled all the men would lose their
cool.
All this time to kill. I will write a letter to you. From my
hand to your hand. From my home to your home. From this room
here on Church Avenue. Because the dress you wore was the color
of envy. When you smiled all the men would lose their cool.
