EXECRABLE PASTICHE
I don’t nag him or cook for him or buy him anything I don’t check up on him or support him or see him in the morning You’re more than welcome to be the love of his life And help him build up his hopes and dreams You’re more than welcome to be mad that…

He’s a shower and I’m a scarf. I’m a dump truck and he is typewriter ribbon. I’m the catfish that he can’t resist. He’s an envelope and I’m ground pepper. I’m an elastic waistband and he’s a thermometer. I’m the city that he revisits… I’m worthless, He’s useless. He’s a shower and I’m a scarf….
