Because of You
Because of you
I wait idled and swimming in filth.
Because of you
I twitch forty times the way of God.
Because of you
I stake a flat iron face
In front of your front.
Because of you
Sixteen candles
Mean seventeen frowns.
Because of you my house burns
In sweaty, ballsy gumption.
My hand gives awkward
Pause until the lead dog points and shoots.
Because of you
I cry sweet soda tears
And kiss the faces on the TV.
