Jeanne Lee (s.d.)

“Blasé…. Ain’t you Daddy? / 
You shot your sperm into me, / 
And never set me free. / 
This ain’t a hate thing… / 
It’s a love thing /
If lovers every really love that way /
The way they /
Say. / 
I gave you a loaf of sugar, / 
You tilt my wound ’til it runs. /
All of Ethiopia awaits you /
My prodigal son. /
Blasé ain’t you big daddy /
But momma loves you. /
She /
Always has.”
