Your Smile is Spreading Thin
Young Americans 1975

Cara Losier Chanoine

I find the slinky vagabond
that’s been blessing all the papers,
the savage son of the TV tube.
He says,
Ain’t there a child I can hold without judging?
Ain’t there someone whose shine breaks the night?
Well, ain’t that poster love.

Fame lets him loose.
I feel him driving, and I’m only the wheel.
He’s the savage son
begged off the bathroom floor,
blessing everybody’s wall.
He says,
All I wanted was for somebody to play my song
in tune.
Can a heartbeat
live in a fever?

Someone like him
should not be allowed,
but still, he swoops like a song,
heartbeat living in a TV tube.
The breadwinner begs from the ghetto,
but what we need, we have to borrow.
His soul shines on everybody’s wall,
the myth of a song in tune.
