SONGS ABOUT GOD

Some of it is right I guess.

Married with the kid

and the dogs that vomit

on the carpet

and the AC that went out that

one

time and unspoken 

letters to the ex-

life I once lived.

Is this how it's

captured for everyone?

Is everyone in love

with the suffocating

energy around them

or do they keep

a small sliver

of their brains 

to write the songs,

to spit out their

small truths to God

and then to thank Him,

Like David,

for kindling

the fiery breath

that keeps the

ends of me burning?
