Household Names

Tony fished his wedding ring, out of the kitchen sink Afterwards Caleb took me dancing There are things that I should believe but I could never want to know The accolades of karaoke and the slideshow Another dissonant diatribe, remained diligent when the pastor was passing by Then you pressed into my hand, my first xanax Talking to the sandwich man, "surely she have would have called if she was contemplating suicide Then mom died, it gets easier as the years have gone awry It's my birthday, not that you'd remembered but drink my beer anyway Guess my name. Been coming here for years, shoplifting after church If it's all the same, spare me the candles, the prayer and place them on my grave Can I trust you to relay? The messages of tongues and gestures that sit like mildew atop the stage."
