Alligator - Cayucas

Ooo

A yellowish orange, a janky stick shift

Gasoline burning, ceiling lifted

Ooo

Alligator

Jesus Christ glued onto the dashboard

Photograph cutout taped to cardboard

Ooo

Alligator

A mattress that loves in shades of off white

Cigarette burns left to slowly die

Ooo

Alligator

And the sea smell has come through the vent

Hiding from the beams underneath the blinders

Chill on the back of your neck

Went up until you knew you couldn’t get any higher alligator

Alligator

Macho man staring, boots and knee pads

Flexing both arms in a yellow head band

Ooo

Alligator

The 95 strap with bolts of lightning

Drip scribbly lines in a slimy sea green

Ooo

Alligator

Caught between dreams awake and sleeping

Eyelids have shut and getting heavy

Ooo

Alligator

And the sea smell has come through the vent

Hiding from the beams underneath the blinders

Chill on the back of your neck

Went up until you knew you couldn’t get any higher alligator

Alligator yeah yeah

Alligator

Alligator yeah yeah

Cause you don’t know what could happen

What could happen no

But you don’t know what could happen

What could happen no

But you don’t know what could happen

What could happen no

But you don’t know

But you don’t know

Alligator
