Fiction |
| It seems too good to be true |
| But there’s a girl in Kansas City |
| With my favourite tattoo |
| Oh why would I lie to you? |
| This was in another century |
| Somewhere near the summer’s end |
| The fahrenheit was frightening |
| I was awake the whole weekend |
| Invited to a barbecue |
| I found refuge in the kitchen |
| Discussing post-war US literature |
| With a girl whose upper arm read «fiction» |
| Like it might have been typewritten |
| I asked her its significance |
| She said she sometimes took reminding |
| What she wanted to be doing |
| Whether reading it or writing |
| I admitted admiration |
| For both typeface and intent |
| And said more softly — sotto voce — |
| I knew too well what she meant |
| She just smiled |
| And in a while she went |
| For a time I forgot this ever took place |
| She left her bottle on the bookcase |
| So though I leave you little option |
| But to take me at my word |
| I assure you, dearest listener |
| That it happened as you’ve heard |
| A beer left on a bookshelf |
| At a bygone barbecue |
| By a girl from Kansas City |
| With my favourite tattoo |
| Oh why would I lie to you? |
| Oh why would I lie to you? |
| Oh why would I lie? |
