"Litany of Scars - Notes to a Missing Lover"

If #1 (Listen to the poem in RealAudio G2)

if I was a whore
and you a carpenter
would you still
build my house?

if I was a rainbow
and you a frog
would you still
jump in mud puddles?

if I was a telephone
and you a repairman
would you still
dial wrong numbers?

if I was a picture
and you a photographer
would you still
burn my negative?

if I was light
and you water
would you still
short the circuit?

if I was scripture
and you a priest
could you still
read between the lines?

if I was...
and you were...
would you still?
