Do you like American music?
The sizzle of straightened hair,
the mockery of superstition,
the cookies hidden in the drawer,
the clang of forks bashing tupperware,
the ringing toy,
the glossy, rain soaked ivy,
open weekdays til' eight,
Saturday and Sundays til' five,
another day in the life,
while staring at the foil prototype.
