downloading doves on your fancy computer

youre shooting for love in the dark

hey jude youve found her now go instant message

her name is a pretty good start



ultima sits in her bedroom in texas and

waits for her hamsters to touch

she lost her legs in a car crash three years ago

she doesnt get around much



but she is hoping someday

somebody will take her away



now that you got her a dress you can send her

a matching attachment and face

slick rhododendrons you make out of paper

with flowers that never lose shape



you have a video camera strapped to

your forehead in case she is true

smiling rewind as we die in slow motion

(as if its not happening to you)



don't blow it all at one time:

some girls are harder to find



don't be afraid of the dark ages darling,

the stage has been set and your carriage is waiting

to take you away from this place

where youll meet your bride face to face

knowing her name is enough: ultima...



fox trotting globe trotters under your fingertips

tapping for oil in vain

surely you wont think to hold it against her

she can't help that thats where she came

from

someone is hoping to find

her limbs in an auction online

knowing her name is enough:

ultima esperanza
