LULY

I KNEW A GIRL NAMED LULY LEE AND SHE WAS FROM THE PLEIDES AND IF YOU PUT HER FRONT AND CENTER SHE WAS JUST A BLUR TO SEE. BUT IF YOU LOOKED RIGHT PAST AND ALMOST MISSED HER HER EYES SHONE OUT LIKE SEVEN SISTERS ALMOST AS IF YOU DID INVENT HER FROM YOUR OWN OBSCURITY.

SISTER HAS A SLIPPING WAY OF HOLDING ON TO HER SELF. THE WATER HERE IS STICKY CLAY THE SOAP DON’T FOAM OR WASH OFF. BLESSINGS ARE ALL CUT BOTH WAYS AND GIFTS ARE WARNINGS ANYWAY. SISTER HAD A SLIP TODAY BUT SHE’S HOLDING ON TO HER SELF.

I KNEW A GIRL NAMED LULY ANN AND SHE WAS FROM SOME RING OF SATURN REALLY VERY NEBULOUS BUT IN HER SPINNING SHE MADE SOME PATTERN. YOU CAN’T SEE HER FROM WHERE YOU’RE AT BUT SHE LOOKS GREAT IN PHOTOGRAPHS SHE NEVER COULD INSPIRE TRUST BUT WHEN YOU’RE IN HER ORBIT NONE OF THAT MATTERS.

‘CAUSE SISTER HAS A WAY OF HOLDING HER ALOFT EVEN AS SHE’S SLIPPING OFF HER SEVENTH CROSS. NEVER MIND THE ATMOSPHERE NEVER MIND THE AIR TAKE A ROCKET OUT OF HERE TAKE A ROCKET OVER THERE.

I KNEW A GIRL NAMED LULY JUNE AND I KNOW THAT GIRL WAS STRAIGHT FROM THE MOON ‘CAUSE SHE WAS ALWAYS AROUND BUT RARELY ALL THERE AND YOU COULD SET YOUR WATCH BY HER MOODS. BUT YOU MUST ADMIT WHEN SHE CAME FULL SHE OVERTAKE YOU BY HER PULL ALWAYS KIND OF CATCH YOU OFF GUARD UNAWARE SHE WALK RIGHT IN TO YOUR BEDROOM.
