Slipsheet Sisters
©Jerry Axson

She works in the office next to mine,
she passes by everyday,
and I don’t think I’ve ever seen her smile,
but I’m guessing maybe that’s her way,
and I wonder who she talks to,
altogether and when she’s alone,
I’ve watched her mouth just to see what comes out -
but her lips don’t move on the phone,

The slipsheet sisters will abduct you -
they will change your every way,
they’ve got cold plaster walls lined with porcelain dolls,
that stare back with nothing to say...

I often think about your present state,
and what thoughts run through your head,
the secrets you keep - the lies you release -
the boys who pass through your bed,
were you Mother’s painful obsession?
while your Father turned a blind eye,
you were made to impress in a Dollar store dress -
and nobody saw how you cried,

The slipsheet sisters will break you -
then collect each and every part,
they will sift through the best then discard the rest -
the mind, the soul, and the --- heart...

The slipsheet sisters will use you -
then leave your body for dead,
they will stand in the clear and whisper “Oh, my dear!”,
while they put a bullet through your head...
the slipsheet sisters...
Oh, the slipsheet sisters...
Oh, the slipsheet sisters...
Yeah, the slipsheet sisters...

about

Jerry Axson Columbia, South Carolina

To me simplicity is the root of all great thoughts. The secret thrill for me, the architect, is delivering that thought with unobtrusive complexity. Writing songs and composing music satisfy my soul and because of this I know exactly what I am designed to do, it’s just that simple. - Jerry Axson ... more
