Betty/Bert

Promise not to look at cameras, an embryonic queen, let me keep my clothes

Cacophonous, don't feel gorgeous yet, Betty assures "as long as you remember you're easy to dispose of"

Monotonous, like an idol I wept, laconic on the screen as I hold my pose

Providence, each angle obsessed with prying from our laps that which we refuse to disclose

We'll rendezvous as if he were a son of mine

Hastily the swingers return 'round 'bout nine

That ring on your finger like cold cobalt against my spine

That's what I'd have you believe so you could never leave me behind

Frankly, I do not deserve your love

I'd rather linger and persist like a rabbit stuffed

Dangling or dancing, it's only to be your crush
