Swinging chairs

I've been to Coney Island 
I saw the carnies and furtively unearthed their secret desire 
To be enjoyed, admired, loved 
I loved them 
Just the way a sister loves hers 
I pushed my index finger against the enormous trouble aching in my temples 
I couldn't defeat the sound of anguish in their laughter 
So I rode the cyclone til the cyclops had three eyes and I vomited my heart 
I left it there at Coney Island between his and the redheads hands
I whispered come back to me when I've been fucked 
But it won't return til I have been loved 
I thought it might be you that returned my treasured organ but you 
Were nothing more than a game piece I guess 
Because she refuses to come back
