Tallulah Tomorrow

She was the colour of marble when they found her

staring at the Television Screen

Somebody had noticed nesspapers and letters

building up outside and called the police

Tallulah Tomorrow too late to respond

Tallulah Tomorrow waiting for her moment to come on.

Doctor shined flashlight underneath her eyelids

and searched for her pulse with his hairy hands.

A man in a uniform searched through her possessions

with the disapprov

ing eye of a customs man

Tallulah Tomorrow too late to respond

Tallulah Tomorrouw waiting for her moment to come on.

They took Tallulah wrapped up in a blanket

straight out the back to flashing light

Her enemies and neighbours were gathered on the pavement

so amxious to see her in a different light

Tallulah Tomorrow too late to respond

Tallulah Tomorrow waiting for her moment to come on.

In fact I'm going straight back

Straight back to her

In fact I'm going straight back. . .
