Work Your Way Out

<br>lying on the floor<br>four stories high<br>in the corridor<br>between the asphalt and the sky<br>I am caught like bottled water<br>the light daughter<br>I wonder what you look like<br>under your t-shirt<br>I wonder what you sound like<br>when you`re not wearing words<br>I wonder what we have<br>when we`re not pretending<br>it`s never-ending, haven`t you heard?<br>I don`t need to tell you<br>what this is about<br>you just start on the inside<br>and work your way out<br>we are all polylingual<br>but some of us pretend<br>there`s virtue in relying<br>on not trying to understand<br>we`re all citizens of the womb<br>before we subdivide<br>into sexes and shades<br>this side<br>that side<br>and I don`t need to tell you<br>what this is about<br>you just start on the inside<br>and work your way out<br>undressing for the fan<br>like it was a man<br>wondering about all the things<br>that I`ll never understand<br>there are some things that you can`t know<br>unless you`ve been there<br>but oh how far we could go<br>if we started to share<br>I don`t need to tell you<br>what it is about<br>you just start on the inside<br>you just start on the inside<br>and work your way out
