Ginger and David

Carla Bley

Roomer:
Watery-blue they lie and are lied to

Used woman:
Good David the curator is good for her
Trained for things to come

Roomer:
Paid to keep a shirt on his back

Cecil clark:
And his back turned

Nurse:
Pale Ginger living off premises
A long walk in the cold

Used woman:
A sickman she'd sought for the night
To fuck her to sleep

Cecil clark and leader:
To an insisting -

Used woman:
Together burdening with belief -

Nurse:
Amid loudspeakers -

Clark and leader:
- Repellent flash -

Woman:
- Their feather-brained pillows -

Nurse:
- And temporary -

Clark and leader:
- The flash a nasty thing

Woman:
- Two living coldly as one

Nurse:
- Light

Clark and leader:
- Done to time. The man kind

Woman:
To show she would say she could see
What that had to do with reality
Without flashing
