shoulder shapes fit in complicated ways

lips and noses you can mash together however

if pillows talked i don’t think we’d spare a feather

even two nice people can’t make it two days

you see, a house fire’s a chance to start over

i saw you with your sunglasses and your rings

a horse hair away from tomorrow’s big strings

we can hold hands while the furniture smolders

let’s take a trip to the primordial chasm

we can bring our gadgets and gather the facts

the sons of safe science will dish out beatings

when we find magic animal tracks

a lot of people care about pet opinions

most calendars come with pre-loaded holidays

maybe we’re all just looking for excuses

to like each other more than we’re allowed

in many american households

the father never says a single word

the mother’s waiting to be rescued

hanging on to cliche for dear life

the fort worth news helicopter crashed

into the mayor’s shiny new coupe
