There was a love affair in this building 
the kind of love affair 
which every respectable building must keep as a legend 
Slowly festering through an innocent by the way 
or have you heard 
he was perfect except for the fact that he was an engineer 
and mothers prefer doctors and law-yers

Yet despite this imperfection 
he was clean looking and respectable looking 
and you'll never find a mother 
who doesn't appreciate a natural man 
So he grew healthy aloe Vera plants by the window 
healthy teeth in his mouth 
healthy hair on his head 
He grew healthy wavy brown hair on his head 
the kind that babies always go for with sticky little fingers
