Helen Wants To Change Her Eyes

Helen wants
To change
Her eyes.

It's enough
To make 
You cry.

In America
Almonds don't
Fly.

It's all
About the
Moons.

Jesus, we're
Pretty. Helen
Has tried

Suicide. Why
Has Helen
Wanted to

Die? Helen,
Begotten of
Funny name

Was once
Funny name.
They changed

Funny name
To Helen
(maybe not

thinking that
every name
is funny

name 
somewhere, or
maybe thinking

too clearly,
who knows?)
And Helen

Wants to 
Change her
Eyes.
