SEEDED

 

it's divine jesus planned it jesus planted it the seedy limerance first seven years 
growing wild like a dandelion in dirt lot texas taking off all my clothes at five
immersing myself in the mud because the worms make more sense than most people
shining it up for sunday morning at the church with the white steeple then raging
at daughters who look slutty in mommy's lipstick and boys who won't play ball
pbs propaganda every color has a place at the table and the rainbow is a promise
from jesus that we will never have to repeat this tacky loop

if only we believe and receive the only cup that matters
but the jack daniels vomit splatters my ten perfect toes
and in the throes of oh hell yes hallelujah saturday night
the light switches on at last and in my broken stained glass window heart i know
thirteen years and an ocean between us and baby we are the same
we came down here to tear shit up to find the magic in the mundane
to dance this waltz while the machines do their dreary work
and bones fall as they do across a thousand or so miles of asphalt
we are goddamn lucky and blameless
surrounded by the karmically filthy and delusional dead
we laugh we fuck we roll the dice
