The Mansion

John Vanderslice

At dawn i walked across my front lawn
Humming some blodying, nordic rowing song
It was raked and cut and comforting,
To comfort i said so long
I stole my girl from her backyard


We jumped on a train
(anacostia, va)
To greyhound across the united states


We set off in hope of changing our lives
But settled intead in a holiday inn, riverside


I woke up in the morning all alone
I walked down to the lobby and found her on the phone
"david" she said, "i miss you i'm coming home"
I pulled her by the arm, she grabbed me by the throat


I went to the room and threw all her things
Of the 17th floor balcony and set out


We set off in hope of changing our lives
But settled intead in a holiday inn, riverside
