BELOW THE FOLD

headlines hit yesterday

that was me

on your front page 

paint us in black and white

still they missed something big 

girl hits the jackpot

girl swallows the ocean

girl hit up for all she's got

girl abandoned on your front lines 

newsprint smudged black fingertips

draw stories on your pale chest 

got bumped to below the fold

when you found out

it isn't easy 

kill the tale

but I can live

between your scattered lines 

big spaceships flying outside

got nothing on our headlines

ask them to hitch us a ride

and hide for a while
