YONA WOLLACH

LOTTA

With a monkey wrench Lotta combs her hair

Her long lovely locks are springs.

She takes pills against sensations

and strange mysterious fears,

wears a webby spider dress

and goes off what

ever Lotta incorporates instead

The truth is that you've got a great body,

so why do you smoke a pipe of war?

But Lotta has swallowed pills

and now she understands only words.
