she's got a moulding of her left hands   and she holds it to her chest   trying to feel the pulsations   trying to quiet the unrest   that's taking place   it's taking place   behind the armor of her smiling face      she wants a moulding of her features   of her face and of her feet   sometimes she says   she wants a double   made of stone or of concrete   to take her place   to take her place   then she could disappear   without a trace   to take her place   to take her place   then she could disappear   without a trace
