you remind me of my old Subaru
you both died on the side of the road
half way between where you were aimed to go
and where you were going to
i guess i was wrong about the both of you
because I thought you'd walk me down the aisle
and i didn't think that station wagon was on its last mile
but it abandoned me and i had to bury you

He Is Perfect For Me
I barely remembered what I thought about
as I bought my cigarettes
I smile a lot
Earlier this month there were roman candles
this afternoon we were roman candles
Today we were a lot
When we agreed we preferred vinegar in our coleslaw
and sour cream over mayonnaise
in our potato salad
We were buying spare ribs and vying for each other
We were perfect for each other
He is perfect for me

Circuses
the barded lady and the only man
are peculiar and well-versed in the bizarre
Ladies and Gentlemen
is an overly generous use of plural
are peculiar and well-versed in the bizarre
Ladies and Gentlemen

Prologue/Epilogue
spinning in the sky and wondering
How will I ever come down
small
almost untraceable

Led me to you)

Hanging in the balance
We washed our sheets
I made that tiny guitar
Let my fingers bleed
