throw me some rope here no, I don't want to hang myself I want to hang a tire from the oak tree so I can swing and pretend like I'm flying you aren't trying so I'm giving up silence is a form of lying didn't your uncle ever teach you that I notice the scar on your left thigh how did you get that what happened I ask knife fight is all you say one day we were driving from New Orleans to Biloxi you were fine we were fine chattering about Harvey Pekar and Roald Dahl then there was Jewel on the radio singing the song some claim is about Sean Penn suddenly you clammed up I tried to pry you open you snapped my fingers off an angry turtle if this is intimacy I want cheap sex with strangers there is no danger in that ever heard of condoms and fake phone numbers I don't need you to fold my maps or change my tires, dude throw me a rope life is a rodeo and you're the calf who needs to learn a lesson or two. |
