Cara Losier Chanoine

I saw you peeping,
waiting for the gift
of sound and vision.
You’re just a little girl
with grey eyes,
and I’ve been breaking glass
in your room again,
with the pale blinds drawn
all day.

Don’t you wonder sometimes
why I’m always crashing in the same car?
I’m just a little bit afraid of you,
talking through the gloom.
Wait until the crowd goes—
che-li venco de-ho—
sometimes you get nowhere.

Please
be my life.
I will sit right down.
I will give you
the gift of sound and vision,
and it’s blue,
blue,
electric blue, and
you’re just a little girl
with grey eyes,
drifting over my head.

You say,
Take it on the road,
but I’ve left every place
already.
I’ve put my foot down to the floor,
past those kilometers
and the red light—
don’t you wonder sometimes
what you’re gonna do
with the gift of sound and vision?

Wait until the crowd cries
for you,
behind the pale blinds—
never mind,
say something.
Don’t look at the carpet,
like you’re talking
through the gloom.
che-li venco de-ho
I saw you
breaking glass in your room.
Just wait until the crowd goes.

I’m just a little bit over
my head,
but I’m talking through
the electric blue
of sound
as I put my foot
through the glass,
and I will sit right down
until the crowd goes—
always taking it on the road
in the same car,
always crashing
through the gloom.
Sometimes, you get nowhere,
but sometimes you get
the gift of a girl with grey eyes,
so here,
take my life.
