| I DIGESTED YOUR SHIT TODAY I sat on the porch swing And watched the thunderstorm Wash my troubles away Then you walked in the backdoor Without knocking Held my shoelace and stocking From your pocket And belt loop "So when are you going to get off your ass and stay awhile?" I turned to you, eyebrow raised Then looked away He said he'd send me letters As I watched my mailbox collect dust You were here once with your folly And swaggering step and sullen eyes I cried when you left me Coughed at your return Maybe when the sun rises ANd the water lilies wither I'll consider your excuses Then eat them for dinner "Nice to see you" I'd lie And scoot over Hoping you'd leave more than anything |
