Tallulah Tomorrow

She was the colour of marble when they found her
staring at the Television Screen
Somebody had noticed nesspapers and letters
building up outside and called the police
Tallulah Tomorrow too late to respond
Tallulah Tomorrow waiting for her moment to come on.
Doctor shined flashlight underneath her eyelids
and searched for her pulse with his hairy hands.
A man in a uniform searched through her possessions
with the disapprov
ing eye of a customs man
Tallulah Tomorrow too late to respond
Tallulah Tomorrouw waiting for her moment to come on.
They took Tallulah wrapped up in a blanket
straight out the back to flashing light
Her enemies and neighbours were gathered on the pavement
so amxious to see her in a different light
Tallulah Tomorrow too late to respond
Tallulah Tomorrow waiting for her moment to come on.
In fact I'm going straight back
Straight back to her
In fact I'm going straight back. . .
