American Marriage

The patient is

my good friend

another drink

oh he's such a waste

empty payphone

stranger in her ear

be a straight man

and wear dark shoes

the middle seat

of her own suitcase

 

she won't wait for her own bags

she can't wait for her own bags

she never waits for her own bags

she won't wait for her own bags

 

The liquor store

won't call your phone

the neighbors can't

work from home

her temper on

a paper plate

wasted mailman

still gaining weight

and I'll never turn
