Councilmen, I must address you
With my baby arms & paper-doll knees
Wave a baby-blue flag before you
Odysseus is lost at sea.
There’s no one here on earth to protect me
Tinier am I than a man
Seeking protection from mis-use & abusion.
Seeking protection of my land.
You got me on my back like a baby
You got me like a lady on my knees
Would you make love to Baby Telemachus, please
They tap their craven ashes on my table
Run their greasy fingers through my hair
Teach me to be hazy and drugged and lazy
Pick me like a flower & touch me everywhere
I’ve come before you looking for some council.
I’ve come before you looking for a man
To come upon the weeds that encroach me
To bind me firmly like a child again
You got me on my back like a baby!
You got me like a lady on my knees!!
Would you make love to Baby Telemachus, Please!!!
“Little Baby Blue Telemachus
Why your own dear mother is to blame
She slides her feathers like a peacock.
She holds a thousand men upon a chain
She knows how to treat a man like a noodle
She knows we have no will of our own
She builds her fame on a mountain of hearts
She’s the one who needs to leave your home.”
Men, men, men, men, men,
do you really wanna see me walk away?
To curl like a tail between your legs?
Fall like a pin into your hay?
Are you hungry for the anger of my father?
Are you hungry for the flavor of your blood?
Do you wanna see the shaming of a baby?
Is that the kind of thing that turns you on?
My boat will wear a lavender flag.
I will stock it with candy & wine
Follow a heart that is pinned to the sky
Like a star like a moon like a little one.
You got me on my back like a baby
You got me like a lady on my knees
Now would you make love to baby Telemachus please?
