Billy
Loves Frankie
Joy
Cagle
Timepiece,
1985
I heard a woman weeping as she called
to the
dragonfly
Where do you go when the cold wind
blows and
beauty smudges with a tear?
Where can a queen find her man?
In the blackness
of the night -
Tuck the stick away baby, dry those
tears.
Silicon moves beautiful in a satin
Garland dress.
Billy baby, what's your name?
Where do you go when the bar be closed
and the men they want their boys?
Well Frankie she came to Hollywood
to lay her
baby down.
Sit tight on the barstool in teetering
high heel shoes
and suck Pall Malls to roaches.
Some prince yearns to lift his queen
to
the midnight pumpkin.
