My girlfriends old friends dad got bored
His words weren’t his when he said ”no contact from now”
My best friends young mom looked so good.
With fresh lipstick, powdered cheeks: ”There’s food in the fridge”
Menthol smokes and ashtrays
Apartments that no one really wanna leave in
Poetry for people like you and me
Will you admit, there’s beauty in it?
My sisters fathers moms new man.
His first name rhymed with class, but he was a big sobbing drunk.
My doctors wife’s new dentists sons friend, portrayed by this actress old man, jerked off in his bed.
Lenses and light and nice posture.
A couple of days old nail polish.
A kid dropped a tooth, showed his mommy.
A mouth chewing spit, there’s beauty in it.
My best friends friend of a friends girlfriend, traveled far into foreign lands and stayed there until spring showed its signs.
A sobbing kids words filtered through snot. His moms new boyfriend made a scene in the parking lot. Just pay the damn fine.
Stuck in traffic all morning.
An SUV spewing gasoline.
You can’t sell GT’s here on the beach.
Show your permit, where’s the beauty in it?
My girlfriends old friends dad got bored, his words came out a bit wrong.
So I wrote this little song.
My kid with a swagger, cap tipped to the side, walks down the streets. Head up high. One way to be proud.
You got tricked right from the start.
Someone showed interest but then took it back.
Your got no more cards to play.
This time you’re outwit, and there’s a beauty in it.
Truth be told, partially my vault but no one needs to know, know.
“You got your vision back”, the doctor says. His wife starts clapping hands. Proud of his man.
