Who Could Be Hurt at This Hour?
You turned out so skinny,
you got that degree and a job,
and we don’t know why you cut your hair so short
and didn’t have any kids
but we love you as-is.
If it didn’t mean telling you,
we’d tell you
that we all havea similar stuff
and that if we all sat down and showed it off
it’d be like hell’s garage sale
or the dogs getting into the trash.
So why don’t we not.
Who would ask for him to apologize
when you know who your lord and savior is?
Who would ask to be recognized
when you’re so thin
you could turn to the side and disappear?
