"Here I can have any kind of baby
I want. She'll have white fur and a pouch
I can crawl into when it gets cold, and
my breasts will be full of hot cocoa.
We'll mend together, that's what we'll
do. We'll mend..."

"Lou? -Are you a ghost, Lou?"
"No, just spectral. Lost to myself.
Sitting all day on cold parkbenches,
watching the birds fly. Wishing I could
be with you. Dance with me, babe."
