made up

there are days
when i would like to be
july louise
the timing in particular
deftly overcome
for words are made of air
and tiny drops of ink
and i can make them go
any way i please
to make what life i see fit
for july louise
only she would be here
in my little life
stuck tight in the catching
angry in her right
and she would mark distinction
she would then decide
power great enough
to make it all add up
july louise
six chairs missing
eating dinner on the floor
and unaware of innapropriate
stature just the way she wants to make
of two girls she would know
which one to take
july louise
she'd send her packing up
into the hills
scared and all in love
with due respect
temptless and mute
and not dangerous
she'd take your perfect hands
and make them move
to shape the life you only
dared to dream
she'd make you happy girl
and i would too
if i were
july louise
