| DAVID (lying there chewing in bed |
| A string knotted about his neck): |
| Ginger pleading |
| Given over to His Friends |
| Who choose for her everything |
| He would want them to do |
| Everything around in circles |
| And some things even seeming to |
| Drying up on their sides |
| Roomer: |
| Or slowly coming to grips |
| With being grabbed by the lips |
| David: |
| Ginger thinking flies — |
| Nurse: |
| All green within |
| David: |
| — Ginger seeing flies take off |
| Just to land — |
| Nurse: |
| All pale with go |
| David: |
| — On her wholewheat baby body — |
| Nurse: |
| A whistling echo |
| David: |
| — An isolated thread |
| Tied to face blood |
| Some socialist stationwagon solution |
| Doctor: |
| Mastering whims in the meadow |
| Or in hotels next to men |
| Who own them |
| Packed so tightly in their skins |
| Roomer: |
| Hear the crowd to words |
| Feel the arrogance to solutions |
| Scream the loss in situations |
| David: |
| Ginger bites them |
| To isolate qualities |
| Before they got ignored |
| She’d close her eyes |
| While opening up the door |
| And waste no costly muscles guessing |
| By biting anyone on the bathroom floor |
| Therapist: |
| Day after day after day |
| David: |
| Making dogs |
| Nurse i: |
| E pluribus unum |
| David: |
| Making do |
| Nurse ii: |
| E pluribus unum |
| Nurse i: |
| E pluribus unum |
| Nurse ii: |
| E pluribus unum |
| David: |
| Making money |
| Nurse i: |
| E pluribus unum |
| 'Orchestra' |
| Little pony soldier |
| For whom time |
| Is the mind of the universe |
| Backing up to park on him |
| David: |
| Selling nude photographs |
| Of Joe DiMagio |
