Jenny Lewis Instagram – wrote this poem in my half sleep last night.
this is Ellis the female Elvis impersonator and my babysitter in Las Vegas and LA for years. here she is on the Gong Show.
@taylorswift got me thinking about what it is to be a showgirl…
i want to
learn how to surf in a wave pool
study forensics @ night school
i want to explore hemingway’s keys
and drink the fountain of youth in st augustine
i want to regrout my sink
and get that colonoscopy
i want to write my wonder wall
get a boob job
learn this old dog new tricks
i’m a woman looking at 50
i’m an artist!
i’d like to be free in the sack
and not have a heart attack
i’d like to trust someone
really trust someone
i’d like the spark to jump the gap
a woman looks at 40
a woman looks at 50
my parents only lived through their 60’s
an artist looks at 40
an artist looks at 50
i watched my father figure die
it was just he and i
the life of an artist
like a fly on the wall
a parasite
a reflector
