CARPENTERS II

If I were a carpenter,

and you were a lady...

would you let me nail you

lay you on the carpet

hammer you repeatedly

building something

in your interior

that will last and grow

something substantial?

If I were a carpenter,

and you were a lady...

would you let me in the castle

feeling the finery

soiling your red carpets

despoiling your purple halls?

If I were a carpenter,

and you were a lady...

would we meet

would our styles intertwine

so well as they do today

or would I be hung to dry

for my crimes

against you and your kind,

engineering the lands that you rule?

If I were a carpenter,

and you were a lady...

we would each have our role to play

but would they even be

on the same stage?
