DO YOU FAVORS LIKE ELEVATORS

she said - 'i'd do you favors like elevators
if you give me love like a slot machine',
and the levers crank, gears twisting spin,
wire cables plunge, coins topple-tumble in,

well you lose some, you gain,
switch levels, switch lanes,

and through this constant addiction, dependence, willingness to submit
to cold, unfeeling, inanimate objects,
a personification of a girl

who said - 'i'd do you favors like elevators
if you give me love like a slot machine',
you know she'll never, never let you win.
no, no, she will never let you in.
