Matter

All will come to nought
all of our struggle we're still just a disease,
our scourge will wear her out
like fleas we'll leave her dying carcass.
By then you and I will be,
you and I won't be.
This blanket of nothing
it gives me comfort:
This too shall end and then we won't matter
we won't matter -
that's lightness.

We're Just Kids

We're just kids
doing all we can
not to grow apart

Swimming pools and boogey boards
double garage / painted doors
trimmed lawns / flower beds
feather duvets to rest our heads
yeah we're doing...
Station wagon / wedding ring
leather couch / oak furnishing
packed lunch / school uniform
'he's grown so tall'
he's grown
Cellphone upgrade / Friday maid
double dinner date in Parkhurst,
blue lingerie / red velvet cake
rugby games and storm burst
yeah we're doing...
We're doing just fine.
Dog bowls / parquet floors
faded magnets on fridge doors
used to letter our demise
in quaint recycled phrases
yeah we're doing.

Don't Trust the Birds

Don't trust the birds,
they don't know what they say;
they lie with the dogs.
Don't trust the birds
they lie, with the dogs.
- for all the women who speak but aren't heard.
