Don't let him in, put the on the door."
But of I'd let him in, the jerk.

Now my little sister went to some vlachos coffee-grind reader
Ad had a gypsy glint in her eye when smirk
"Since how you feel, I know what to do
Make she gets fixed before she takes him from you."

It's a hot August and my sister and I are creeping down south Halsted
Towards a storefront past a storefront stoop and a
And a and a placard that says Madame Maria's.

I peered in despite

Somewhere on love seat, my husband was there
Paying court to his mistress and stroking her

Madame Maria said, "Well, I had a
So you came in, I prepared half a potion

Now you must do the other

You must get part-silver curses made special out of bullet bits by some Pollock I know in Evergreen Park
And dip them in the potion and drop them in Buckingham at 3:13 on Friday morning
And then she'll be gone, be rid of her!"

Quick, for the potion, we have to get three crabapples that fell off a raggedy old tree right in the southwestern corner of Columbus Park!
Faster, we have to go up to Produce and Fruit Market on Harlem and get the garden snake that lives in the banana bin!
Hurry, we have to get the mercury out of the old thermometer they through the north-facing doors
To the left by the shoe-shine in the lobby of the Monadnock building!
And don't be late, for you must get the out of the teeth of one George Karmalitis
Who as we speak lies dead under a dirty wool in the basement of the morgue of Laretto hospital
The silver teeth of a man killed by a wife!

And I'd never let the from the barracks cut in
They'd out of Great Lakes, usually straight off the farm anyway
And I'd never really let any of the club beaus get a chance
Those cream-colored summer suits never cut to my taste anyhow
And those Hyde Park fraternity were out as a matter of course
I don't enjoy a man in red, so certainly not maroon, that's for

And when the metal was soft and hot you'd engrave the curse into it with a stylus from an old whale bone

And I of my husband
My and her
And I thought of me and him, of we were
I thought of our day

And I was happy, very simply
Do you it
A modest young simple contentment
It's a sunny day, and I think it was
