Everything is perfect
on my parent’s boat,
swaying back and forth,
sweat pouring off my face and back.
Every girl I’ve ever loved is gone.
1970’s mix blares on.
I think I’ll write them all when I get home,
any with an address I can still find.
Look at what my father’s money bought.
Add a little lotion where it burns,
and drink until there’s nothing left.
I can still hear the voices of Lennon and Garcia
even though they’re dead,
which makes me believe
there is still hope for me.
