lyrics

The Fury of Sundays

Moist, moist, the heat leaking through the hinges,
sun baking the roof like a pie and I and thou and she eating, working, sweating, droned up on the heat.
The sun as read as the cop car siren. The sun as red as the algebra marks.
The sun as red as two electric eyeballs. She wanting to take a bath in jello.
You and me sipping vodka and soda, ice cubes melting like the Virgin Mary. You cutting the lawn, fixing the machines, all this leprous day and then
more vodka, more soda and the pond forgiving our bodies,
the pond sucking out the throb. Our bodies were trash.
We leave them on the shore. I and thou and she swim like minnows,
losing all our queens and kings, losing our heels and our tongues,
cool, cool, all day that Sunday in July when we were young
