lyrics

The director of the church choir says at the beginning of every email, 'Thank you for your exquisite music each week' but I'm not
Like him I don't
Carry love in my organs like a sweet cancer,
Rotting my self-efficacy to fertilizer.

I have instead cogs and wheels for lungs and aorta
Keeping time
Each tick echoes across
Spacious rooms half-painted,
All the furniture moved out,
Plastic sheets covering the windows and
Paint cans lying open,
Dripping grey color onto a
Wasteland that was long
Gone before it ever existed.

Why do I bother to wish
People nice weekends?

I don't carry around hypochondriac jars of honey.
If I did, I wouldn't expect not to end with
Insects and
The kind of grit that only appears in windstorms and
Children's disembodied fingers
Trailing behind me like cans rattling after newlyweds.

Why do I bother to wish
People nice weekends?
