Brer Rabbit (my alien abduction)

Little me spilt the beans  

Showed me the truth

While I sat with her 

I hope he plays the guitar 

Like my dad 

But hes patient and gentle 

And has a cool car

 like my father 

I hope my body can learn to trust 

And open up like a flower 

I hope the shame he left me with 

Can be dropped like a shawl 

Lost on a walk 

Or forgotten on the seat for the cab driver.

No more replacing all I left behind 

Time for new people 

New feelings 

Real desire 

Im not in that room with the carpet 

Im.not waiting for the shadow at the door 

But I do still look for the tar baby 

And ill keep my cassette player 

Just for that
